The U.S. diplomat arrived in West Africa in mid-June with little fanfare, hopscotching along the Atlantic coastline for scheduled visits with senior government officials in the Ivory Coast, Gambia, Guinea-Bissau, Togo and Gabon, whose president greeted him inside an opulent seaside palace.
The American, a career State Department official named Christian Ehrhardt, was an unlikely diplomatic VIP. For nearly two decades, he served as an officer in the agency’s security branch, focusing on embassy protection, before being summoned to Washington last year to lead a new initiative — the Office of Remigration.
Since then, Ehrhardt, 41, has crisscrossed Africa, trying to persuade the continent’s leaders to accept flights full of people deported from the United States even though the migrants are not their own citizens. These “third country” deportation deals, a controversial innovation of the second Trump administration, have become a central part of the president’s hard-line approach to immigration, and they’re negotiated by the office Ehrhardt now oversees.
He has been making rapid progress. The Trump administration has authorized or pledged at least $410 million to facilitate agreements with 31 countries, mostly in Africa and Latin America, as of the end of June, according to internal government records reviewed by The Washington Post. The documents, which have not been previously reported, provide the most comprehensive picture to date of the Trump administration’s fast-growing third-country network.
Under the arrangements, the U.S. has expelled migrants to countries across the globe where they have no previous connection. Early deals included flights to Costa Rica carrying migrants from China, Russia, Iran and Afghanistan and a flight to the tiny African kingdom of Eswatini with migrants from Vietnam, Laos, Cuba and Jamaica.

Uhhhhhhh...yyyeahhh. The had no connection to this country either so what's your point?
So did I.
When did the Washington Post become pro Trump? Are they trying to help Republicans win the mid-terms? The GOP should use excerpts from this piece in campaign ads. That would really piss off the Post.
This is good policy because it just de-incentivizes illegals from trying to come here, all the more. If you know you might end up being stranded in a hell hole every bit as bad as the country you left but with no one you know, the risks vs rewards equation starts to change dramatically. Instead of welfare on the American taxpayer’s dime, you’re stranded in a country with no safety net where you don’t speak the language. Extremely effective! No wonder the left hates it.
If we don’t get out of the U.N. refugee treaties when the dims get in it’s all over.
I am willing to meet any country half way to drop off illegals.

If you are a welfare leach, not so much.
The Washington Post has morphed into The Washington Compost
Fair point.
Excellent. You can go back to your own country.....or we’ll dump you in the African country of our choice.
You decide.
