An international investigation by 26 media outlets reveals secret deals made by Donald Trump's administration with African nations to host undocumented migrants deported from the US. Since January 2025, over 25,400 foreigners have been deported to countries they had never visited, many with legal protections against return. These agreements with 35 'third countries' were largely negotiated in secret, with the benefits for these nations remaining unclear.
