    The US has agreements with a number of third countries to take on non-citizen deportations. According to the article in the link, these include Mexico, El Salvador, Costa Rica, Panama, Guatemala, and South Sudan.

    It’s fairly likely that the US applies enough economic pressure until these countries have little choice but to do it. I recall they were trying to force Bahamas and Grenada into it last year, but as far as I’m aware they have managed to maintain their rejection

      This, exactly. A nice tidy way of keeping their hands clean. Deport them to a country with prisons where detainee deaths are common, or their government can be subtly coerced into killing the people our government sends there. When people demand answers, our government can just throw up its hands and say, “Well, how were we supposed to know they were doing that?”

        Precisely - it’s just like money laundering, except that it’s for abuse.

        Just another way in which the USA’s government functions like the mafia on the global stage
