CBS News reported that the Trump administration, as it seeks to carry out what the network's summary describes as the largest deportation in American history, is removing a growing number of people to countries they are not from and often have no ties to. The practice is known as "third-country deportation," CBS News said.
CBS News reported that a 60 Minutes investigation reveals how some of these third countries are forcing deportees back to the nations they fled. According to the summary, those are places where U.S. immigration judges have ruled, but the text stops at that point, so the summary does not say what the rulings found or which courts issued them.
The CBS News summary does not give figures for how many people have been sent to third countries, and it does not name the countries involved. It also does not include a response from the administration or from any of the governments described. Without those details, the scale of the practice cannot be measured from the summary alone.
The item's headline describes the report as a 60 Minutes investigation into third-country deportations, and the summary uses the same term. The item lists no individual author.
This report relies only on the CBS News summary and does not reflect the full broadcast. Readers who want the full findings can view the segment on the CBS News video page.
