Stephen Miller's Initiative Accelerates Deportation of Immigrant Children and Third-Country Removals
- Under Stephen Miller's leadership, nearly 200,000 children have been ordered removed from the U.S. since Trump returned to office, with a significant increase in deportation orders for minors.
- The administration has committed at least $410 million to over 30 countries for accepting deportees, with more than 25,000 people sent to third countries, raising concerns about legality and safety.
- Critics argue that the mass deportation efforts violate federal law and endanger vulnerable children, as many deported minors lose legal representation and face coercive tactics to abandon their asylum claims.
