The Trump administration has spent more than $30 million to send migrants to far-flung countries that are not their own, including, in a few instances, paying over $1 million a person, a new report from the Democratic chair of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee says.
In other cases, the report alleges, the administration paid to deport the migrants to a third country, only to pay again to return them to their home country.
The report, released Friday, says that the administration has inked the high-cost deals for the return of “relatively small numbers of third country nationals.”
