US Spent $35 Million to Send Deportees to Third-Party Nations.

The article focuses on a report detailing the Trump administration's expenditure of over $35 million to deport approximately 300 migrants to countries with which they had no prior connection. The report, from Senate Foreign Relations Committee Democrats, highlights that this resulted in an average cost of about $116,666 per deportee, with some individuals, like those sent to Rwanda, costing over $1 million each. It also notes that the funds were transferred directly to foreign governments without oversight, raising concerns about the implications for non-citizens and the effectiveness of the program.
