US deports 23,000+ migrants to countries with no ties, including Central African Republic

A report by Human Rights First and Refugees International alleges that between January 2025 and August 2026, the U.S. deported over 23,000 migrants to 26 countries with which they have no legal or family ties, including the Central African Republic. The claim is based on NGO reporting and is not yet independently corroborated. If confirmed, this marks a significant escalation in U.S. deportation policy, raising humanitarian and legal concerns.
