Marco Rubio Announces U.S. Has Secured Agreements With 20 Nations to Deport Illegals

During the White House Cabinet meeting today, Secretary of State Marco Rubio provided a big update on ongoing efforts to tackle the immigration crisis in our nation.

Twenty countries around the world have now agreed to allow the U.S. to deport illegal aliens there — even if the immigrant isn’t from that country, originally.

At this time, the Trump administration has not released an official list of the twenty countries that Rubio is referring to.

We also don’t know how many illegal immigrants have actually been sent to countries that they are not originally from.

But, NBC News provided some estimates on how many illegal aliens have been deported to third-party countries last year:

DHS declined to comment on how many people it has sent to third countries. The Migration Policy Institute, a nonpartisan think tank, estimates there were 15,000 third-country deportations from Jan. 20, 2025, to Dec. 31, with 13,000 of the people being sent to Mexico.
