  "summary": "The US policy of deporting thousands of people to countries with which they have no links is increasing risks of torture, ill-treatment, and enforced disappearance, according to a panel of independent UN experts. The US has agreements with more than 35 countries and has deported at least 23,000 third-country nationals, Channel News Asia reports.\n\nThe experts warn that sending migrants to countries they do not come from can have deadly consequences. According to The Guardian US, deals have been struck with 35 nations, nearly a third of them in Africa, and the US government has been offering millions of dollars to foreign governments to take in migrants, including refugees and asylum seekers, with no ties to their countries.\n\nThe US policy has been in place since Donald Trump took office, with Le Monde English and The Guardian US giving different dates - January 2025 and 2025, respectively, with no further information. An investigation by an international consortium of journalists, including FRANCE 24 reporters, found that more than 25,000 third-country nationals have been deported.",
