Trump administration deported some migrants at a cost of $1 million each, Democratic report says
(CNN) 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 administrations third-country deportation agreements, following criticism the government has been vague about the details of those deals.
