      Because the US have a deal with Congo. They can send deported people there, and Congo get compensated for each person.

        Other than the obvious reason that Trump wants them to suffer, any reason why the EU isn’t accepting deportees when they come with money attached?

          Well, for one, EU isnt a country. It’s a Union of countries. So any such deal would have to be negotiated with an individual country.

          And secondly, there are very few countries in the EU that would want to assist the US deporting their “illegal aliens” to Europe.

          We’re been dealing with the continued aftermath of US preacense in the middle east. And been quite busy with that for the past 25 years.

            The more I learn about the shitty shady things this admin has been up to, the more ashamed of being an American I get - just when I thought I couldn’t get more ashamed.

              Then i do regret to inform you that this isn’t news. The US signed similar deals with Honduras and Uganda in 2025.
