What happened
The outlets' own sentences, most widely reported first. Hover one for who reported it.
Since US President Donald Trump took office in January 2025, Washington has been signing deals with developing countries to take migrants who cannot legally be sent home.
The United States has deported more than 25,000 people under secretive agreements with 35 countries to take migrants with no ties to those nations, according to an investigation published on Monday.
The investigation by Forbidden Stories found the administration has earmarked $410 million (€357 million) to be paid directly to the receiving countries or to UN agencies to facilitate the returns.
The deals vary, including over which nationalities can be deported and whether people with criminal records can be accepted.
