美国参议院外交关系委员会民主党主席的一份新报告称，特朗普政府已花费超过3000万美元，将移民送往遥远的非本国，其中在某些情况下，每人费用超过100万美元。
报告称，在其他情况下，政府为将移民驱逐到第三国而付费，却又再次付费将他们送回本国。
这份于周五发布的报告称，政府与“相对少量的第三国国民”签订了高额的遣返协议。
该报告由参议院外交关系委员会排名成员珍妮·沙欣参议员牵头，在政府对这些协议细节含糊其辞的批评之后，提供了对政府第三国驱逐协议最全面的审视之一。
特朗普政府推行这些协议作为其激进驱逐议程的一部分，称被驱逐到第三国的移民不会被其原籍国接受。历史上，冷淡的外交关系使得美国难以将某些国民遣返至其原籍国。
根据协议，这些国家通常会为了金钱、政治利益或两者兼而有之，同意接受来自美国的非本国公民移民。遣返这些第三国国民的许多努力都面临法律挑战。
报告称，政府已与20多个国家达成协议或已将第三国国民送往这些国家，并正在与数十个国家谈判协议。
少数党报告还由克里斯·库恩斯、蒂姆·凯恩、塔米·达克沃斯、杰基·罗森和克里斯·范霍伦等参议员签署。报告指出，“截至2026年1月，特朗普政府第三国驱逐行动的总成本尚不清楚，但可能超过4000万美元。”
与五个政府——赤道几内亚、卢旺达、萨尔瓦多、埃斯瓦蒂尼和帕劳——的协议已花费超过3200万美元，其中大部分资金以“一次性总付款”方式提供，往往在任何第三国国民抵达之前。
收到百万美元付款的五个国家总共只从美国接收了约300名第三国国民。
报告指出，政府经常使用高成本军用飞机驱逐移民，即使航班上只有少数人。
“截至2026年1月，特朗普政府为至少十个国家的第三国驱逐航班花费了估计超过720万美元，实际成本可能远高于此，”报告称。
该报告称，其依据是“对截至2026年1月的协议的审查、工作人员前往相关国家的旅行、与美国官员、外国政府官员、人权组织、被驱逐者和律师的会议及沟通”。
一名民主党委员会助手表示，他们在有限的接触中向政府提出了一些问题。助手称，虽然政府在某些情况下提供了信息，但并未向委员会全面通报这些协议。
美国有线电视新闻网已联系国务院和国土安全部请求置评。
“目的是吓唬人们”
报告称，“截至2026年1月，在美国付费接收移民的第三国，超过80%被送往这些国家的移民已经返回或正在返回其原籍国。”
在五个收到百万美元第三国国民付款的国家中，萨尔瓦多收到的被驱逐人数最多。约有250人被送往该国，该国获得了476万美元的赠款，用于监禁被驱逐者，政府称这些人与犯罪组织“阿拉瓜团伙”有联系。家庭成员和诉讼已驳斥了这些所谓联系。美国有线电视新闻网去年4月报道，根据一份内部文件，这笔赠款是“为萨尔瓦多执法和惩教机构提供资金以满足其执法需求，包括拘留最近被驱逐到萨尔瓦多的238名TDA成员的费用”。

一名联邦法官周四下令特朗普政府开始执行其要求，即允许去年根据《外国人敌人法》非法驱逐到萨尔瓦多的委内瑞拉人有机会挑战其被驱逐，包括将其中一些人带回美国参加法庭诉讼。
然而，截至2026年1月，只有51人被送往其他四个国家，报告称。卢旺达据称从美国政府获得了750万美元，但只接收了七名第三国国民，这意味着每名被驱逐国民花费了美国纳税人超过100万美元。
帕劳尚未收到任何第三国国民，尽管报告称他们从政府获得了750万美元的付款。向帕劳政府施压以接收第三国国民的努力遭到了当地人的强烈反对。
至于遥远的帕劳和埃斯瓦蒂尼，一名美国官员据称告诉委员会，“关键是政府可以威胁人们，说他们会被直接扔到荒无人烟的地方。”
“目的是吓唬人们，”该官员说。
报告称，一名美国官员私下告诉委员会工作人员，政府“有时会付钱给某个国家接收人员，把他们送到那里，然后再付钱把他们送回本国”。
报告称，在一个这样的例子中，一名墨西哥国民被从美国驱逐到南苏丹，然后又被 flown 回墨西哥。
另一个例子是，一名牙买加人有法庭命令要求返回本国，但被送往埃斯瓦蒂尼——据报告估计花费超过18.1万美元——几周后又被 flown 回牙买加。
报告认为，政府以巨大的美国纳税人成本执行这些驱逐，同时“在双边关系中消耗本可用于推进紧迫的美国国家安全利益的政治资本”。
议员和人权组织对政府达成协议的国家表示关切。这些国家中的许多都有严重的侵犯人权历史。
民主党报告称，政府依赖于被驱逐者将得到符合国际人权法待遇的笼统保证。
然而，报告指出，“特朗普政府官员承认，这些国家没有履行向美国提供的保证，而政府没有采取措施解决这些违规行为。”
“政府没有提供任何系统性监测、跟进或执行的证据，这引发了严重关切，即这些保证仅停留在纸面上，”报告称。
报告称，委员会工作人员从一个接收第三国国民的国家的美国官员处得知，政府指示他们不要跟进被驱逐者的待遇。
人权观察组织和中美洲人权组织Cristosal 11月的一份报告称，今年早些时候从美国驱逐到萨尔瓦多监狱的数十名委内瑞拉人遭受了酷刑和其他严重虐待，包括性暴力。

Trump administration deported some migrants at a cost of $1 million each, Democratic report says

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.”
The report, led by Senate Foreign Relations Committee Ranking Member Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, offers one of the most comprehensive looks at the administration’s third-country deportation agreements, following criticism the government has been vague about the details of those deals.
The Trump administration has pursued the deals as part of its aggressive deportation agenda, arguing that the immigrants deported to third countries would not have been accepted by their home countries. Frosty diplomatic relations have historically made it difficult for the US to return certain nationals to their countries of origin.
Under the agreements, countries agree – often for money, political favor, or both – to accept immigrants from the US who are not citizens of those countries. Many of the efforts to deport these third country nationals have been met with legal challenges.
According to the report, the administration has an agreement with or has sent third country nationals to more than 20 countries and is pursuing deals with dozens more.
The minority report was also signed by Sens. Chris Coons, Tim Kaine, Tammy Duckworth, Jacky Rosen, and Chris Van Hollen. It notes that the “the total costs of the Trump Administration’s third country deportations through January 2026 are unknown but are likely upward of $40 million.”
Deals with five governments – Equatorial Guinea, Rwanda, El Salvador, Eswatini, and Palau – have cost more than $32 million, with much of that funding being provided “as lump sum payments, often before any third country nationals arrived,” according to the report.
The five countries that received the million-dollar payments have collectively only received about 300 third country nationals from the US.
The report notes that the administration often uses high-cost military aircraft to deport migrants, even for flights with only a small number of people.
“The Trump Administration spent an estimated more than $7.2 million on third country deportation flights as of January 2026 to at least ten countries, with actual costs likely far higher,” the report states.
The report says it is based “on a review of agreements through January 2026, staff travel to relevant countries and meetings and communication with U.S. officials, foreign government officials, human rights organizations, deportees and attorneys.”
A Democratic committee aide said they raised a number of questions to the administration in limited engagements. Although the administration provided information in some cases, they have not briefed the committee on the agreements writ large, the aide said.
CNN has reached out to the State Department and the Department of Homeland Security for comment.
‘The point is to scare people’
And “as of January 2026, more than eighty percent of the migrants sent to third countries the U.S. paid to take them in have already returned to their country of origin, or are in the process of doing so,” the report alleges.
Of the five countries that received the million-dollar payments of third-country nationals, El Salvador received the most deported people. Around 250 were sent to that country, which received a $4.76 million grant to imprison the deportees, who the administration alleged had ties to criminal organization Tren de Aragua. The alleged ties have been refuted by family members and in litigation. CNN reported last April that the grant was “to provide funds to be used by Salvadoran law enforcement and corrections agencies for its law enforcement needs, which include costs of detaining the 238 TDA members recently deported to El Salvador,” according to an internal document.

A federal judge on Thursday ordered the Trump administration to begin implementing his requirement that it give Venezuelans unlawfully deported to El Salvador last year under the Alien Enemies Act a chance to challenge their removal, including by bringing at least some of them back to the US for court proceedings.
However, only 51 people were sent to the other four countries as of January 2026, according to the report. Rwanda, which allegedly received $7.5 million from the US government, only took seven third country nationals, meaning each deported national cost more than $1 million in US taxpayer money, according to the report.
Palau has not received any third country nationals, although the report says they received a payment of $7.5 million from the administration. Efforts to pressure the Palau government to take the third country nationals met heavy pushback from locals.
When it comes to the distant countries of Palau and Eswatini, a US official reportedly told the committee that “the point is that the Administration can threaten people that they will literally be dropped in the middle of nowhere.”
“The point is to scare people,” the official said.
According to the report, a US official privately told committee staff that the administration “is sometimes paying the country to take people, flying them there and then paying to take them to their home country.”
In one such instance, a Mexican national was deported from the US to South Sudan, only to be flown back to Mexico, the report says.
In another instance, a Jamaican who had court orders to return to their home country was sent to Eswatini – which the report says came at an estimated cost of more than $181,000 – only to then be flown back to Jamacia weeks later.
The report makes the case that the administration is carrying out these deportations at great cost to US taxpayers while “expending political capital in its bilateral relationships that could instead be used to advance pressing U.S. national security interests.”
Lawmakers and human rights groups have raised concerns about the countries with which the administration has deals. Many of those countries have an extensive history of human rights violations.
The Democratic report alleges that the administration has relied on blanket assurances that the deportees will be treated in accordance with international human rights law.
However, the report states that “Trump Administration officials have acknowledged that countries are not upholding the assurances they provided the United States and that the Administration is not taking steps to address these violations.”
“The Administration has provided no evidence of systematic monitoring, follow-up or enforcement, raising serious concerns that these assurances exist on paper only,” the report states.
Staff from the committee heard from US officials in one country that received third country nationals that the administration had instructed them not to follow-up on the treatment of the deportees, the report says.
A November report by Human Rights Watch and Central American rights group Cristosal alleged that dozens of Venezuelans deported from the US to a Salvadoran prison earlier this year were subjected to torture and other serious abuses including sexual violence.
