Dems: $40M Spent Deporting 300 Migrants to Wrong Nations

A new Democratic Senate Foreign Relations Committee report details U.S. spending exceeding $40 million through January 2026 to deport about 300 migrants to over 20 third countries via costly deals and military aircraft. The State Department justifies the practice as essential to President Trump’s rapid deportation goals, despite instances of migrants being returned home at double cost. Lawmakers and rights groups question the expense and ethics, noting deals with nations like Rwanda cost over $1M per person.
