Story summary

The Trump administration is expanding its controversial "third country" deportation policy, which involves forcibly relocating undocumented immigrants to nations with no prior ties or connections to them. CBS News correspondent Camilo Montoya-Galvez reported from the West African nation of Liberia, where a hotel houses dozens of deportees from countries like Honduras, Brazil, and Cameroon. These individuals, including Elvis Rodriguez Venturas from Honduras, feel stranded and cut off from their families in the U.S., fearing for their safety if they attempt to return home or stay indefinitely in Liberia, which they describe as an unfamiliar place with no connections.
