- US sends deportees to Sierra Leone
The US deported nine individuals to Sierra Leone, marking the country's participation in receiving third-country migrants. The move was widely condemned by rights groups despite the immigration crackdown being popular with Republican voters and achieving the lowest undocumented border crossings in years. However, experts warn the policy could result in nearly $500 billion in lost tax revenue over the next decade.
