The administration of President Donald Trump uses so-called safe third country agreements to expedite the deportations of asylum seekers.

With the goal of reducing illegal immigration and meeting the annual deportation target, the Trump administration has reached several agreements with countries including Uganda, Honduras, and Ecuador, countries with a reputation for to destabilize gang violence.

To achieve this, the US Department of Homeland Security asks courts to dismiss asylum applications without a hearing, sending migrants to so-called safe third countries that typically have a history of human rights abuses.

During Trump's first term alone, approximately 200,000 asylum applications were annually, which are considered a huge legal loophole in his effort to close the border to illegal immigration.

Other actions President Trump has taken to combat the surge of undocumented immigrants include establishing agreements with other countries, such as El Salvador, where around 200 Venezuelans were sent to the mega-prison known as the Terrorism Confinement Center (CECOT).

Other countries that have received immigrants for months from the US government include African countries like South Sudan and Eswatini.

Another example is Palau, a The archipelago of approximately 350 small islands in the Pacific Ocean agreed to receive up to 75 immigrants in exchange for aid from the United States.
