Full report: ‘To Scare People’: US Expulsions of Third-Country Nationals to Countries in Africa — PDF version .

• The United States has sent more than 500 people whom it cannot deport to their own countries, because of the danger they would face there, to various countries in Africa where they have no connections, without giving them a meaningful chance to contest their removals to these countries.
• Some of the people have been detained upon arrival. Many, if not most, have been left with no practical option but to return to their home countries regardless of the harm they face there.
• The United States should stop deporting asylum seekers and refugees to third countries that lack the capacity to provide full and fair asylum procedures, and these countries should refuse to receive people under these conditions.
