  • 报告称,超过3200万美元已支付给五个国家
  • 报告由八名外交关系委员会民主党人签署
  • 批评者称,第三国驱逐是恐吓策略
  • 国务院据称正在寻求更多驱逐安排

华盛顿,2月13日(路透社) – 参议院民主党人周五发布的一项研究显示,美国总统唐纳德·特朗普与外国政府达成的移民驱逐协议使美国纳税人花费了数百万美元——有时每人被驱逐出境的费用超过100万美元——且几乎没有产生任何收益。

特朗普旨在驱逐美国境内数百万非法移民,其政府已试图加大将移民驱逐到非其原籍国的第三国的力度。

参议院外交关系委员会的民主党人在其报告中称(在新标签页打开),第三国驱逐的总成本尚不清楚,但已有超过3200万美元直接支付给了五个国家——赤道几内亚、卢旺达、萨尔瓦多、埃斯瓦蒂尼和帕劳。

报告称,截至2026年1月,这五个国家仅从美国接收了约300名第三国国民——其中250人是被送往萨尔瓦多的委内瑞拉人——其中大多数人已经被遣返或即将返回本国。

报告举例称,一名牙买加人被送往埃斯瓦蒂尼,费用超过18.1万美元,尽管美国法院裁定他应被遣返到本国。报告称,几周后,他又被花费美国的费用从埃斯瓦蒂尼飞往7000英里外的牙买加。

据报告称,牙买加政府表示,它从未反对将其遣返回本国。

白宫未立即回应就该报告置评的请求。白宫曾表示,其大规模驱逐计划是特朗普在2024年成功连任竞选活动中的核心竞选承诺,并且“正在释放资源、振兴机会并恢复安全”。

这份30页的报告由外交关系委员会民主党领袖珍妮·沙欣参议员发布,其他签署者包括委员会民主党成员克里斯·库恩斯、克里斯·墨菲、蒂姆·凯恩、克里斯·范霍伦、科里·布克、塔米·达克沃斯和杰基·罗森。

沙欣在一份声明中表示:“这份报告概述了特朗普政府将个人驱逐到与这些人毫无关联的第三国的令人不安的做法——这给美国纳税人带来了巨大费用,并提出了严重质疑。”

批评者称,特朗普的第三国驱逐政策旨在煽动移民的恐惧,并鼓励他们“自行遣返”到美国境内的本国,或者如果不在美国则留在本国或前往其他地方。

但政府并未提供关于其计划或与第三国接受从美国驱逐但无法返回本国的移民的安排的详细信息。

路透社1月份曾报道过,尽管担心在原籍国受到政治迫害,但仍有人被驱逐到本国的情况。其中包括一名来自塞拉利昂的妇女,她首先被送往加纳,然后尽管美国法官批准她前往其他地方的请求,她还是被从加纳强行遣返到本国。

民主党人的报告称,没有证据表明国务院对纳税人资金的使用进行后续监督,即使是对有腐败和侵犯人权记录的政府也是如此。

该报告涵盖了截至2026年1月31日的协议和报告的第三国驱逐情况,但表示特朗普政府预计将达成更多协议。

报告称:“少数党委员会工作人员了解到,国务院正在与70至80个国家协商第三国遣返协议。”

  • Summary
  • More than $32 million sent to five countries, report says
  • Report signed by eight Foreign Relations Democrats
  • Critics say third-country removals are scare tactics
  • State Dept said to be pursuing dozens more deportation arrangements

WASHINGTON, Feb 13 (Reuters) – U.S. President Donald Trump’s immigrant deportation agreements with foreign governments cost American taxpayers millions of dollars – at times more than $1 million per person shipped out of the country – and produce little benefit, according to a study from Senate Democrats released on Friday.

Trump aims to deport millions of immigrants in the U.S. illegally and his administration has sought to ramp up removals of immigrants to third countries that are not their country of origin.

Democrats on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee said in their report, opens new tab that the total cost of third-country removals is unknown, but that more than $32 million has been sent directly to five countries – Equatorial Guinea, Rwanda, El Salvador, Eswatini and Palau.

As of January 2026, the five countries received only about 300 third-country nationals – 250 of them Venezuelans sent to El Salvador – from the United States, the majority of whom have already been returned or are set to return to their home country, the report said.

In one example cited, a Jamaican was sent to Eswatini at a cost of more than $181,000 despite a U.S. court’s finding that he should be returned to his homeland. Weeks later he was flown 7,000 miles back to Jamaica, also at U.S. expense, the report said.

The Jamaican government said it never objected to his return to his home country, according to the report.

The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the report. The White House has said that its mass deportation program was a central campaign promise in Trump’s successful 2024 campaign for reelection and that it “is freeing up resources, revitalizing opportunity and restoring safety.”

The 30-page report was released by Senator Jeanne Shaheen, the top Democrat on the foreign relations committee, and also signed by committee Democrats Chris Coons, Chris Murphy, Tim Kaine, Chris Van Hollen, Cory Booker, Tammy Duckworth and Jacky Rosen.

“This report outlines the troubling practice by the Trump Administration of deporting individuals to third countries — places where these people have no connection — at great expense to the American taxpayer and raises serious questions,” Shaheen said in a statement.

Critics say Trump’s third-country deportation policy aims to stoke fear among migrants and encourage them to “self deport” to their home countries if they are in the United States and to stay home or go elsewhere if they are not.

But the administration has not provided detailed information about its plans or arrangements with third countries to accept migrants removed from the U.S. but unable to return to their home countries.

Reuters reported in January about people who are deported to their home countries despite fears of political persecution in their homelands. That included a woman from Sierra Leone first sent to Ghana and then forcibly returned to her home country from there despite a U.S. judge having granted her request to go elsewhere.

The Democrats’ report said there is no evidence that the State Department is conducting follow-up oversight on the use of taxpayer funds, even with governments that have records of corruption and human rights abuses.

The report covers agreements and reported third-country removals through January 31, 2026, but said the Trump administration was expected to pursue more agreements.

“Minority Committee staff understand the State Department is pursuing third country removal agreements with 70 to 80 countries,” the report said.
