UN Experts Urge Halt to US Deportations of Migrants to Third Countries. UN human rights experts urged Washington to halt migrant deportations to third countries over abuse concerns. They warned deportees could face torture, persecution and other violations in countries unrelated to their nationality. The Trump administration has reached agreements with several governments to accept migrants barred from returning home. Experts said at least 23,000 third-country nationals have already been transferred to 29 countries and territories. Rights groups have raised concerns about conditions in destinations including Equatorial Guinea and Central African Republic. The experts said children, trafficking victims and other vulnerable groups face especially serious risks under the policy. Washington has defended the arrangements as lawful and consistent with existing US immigration and deportation procedures. President Donald Trump recently asked the Supreme Court to allow the policy after lower courts blocked it.
