Here are the 3rd-countries where the Trump admin is deporting migrants

Catch up quick: The Trump administration restarted deportation flights after the Supreme Court ruled last month that the Department of Homeland Security could resume sending migrants to countries that were not their place of origin.

• The decision put a lower court order that required the government to give immigrants adequate time to challenge their deportations on hold.

State of play: Border czar Tom Homan said the U.S. aims to sign third-country deportation agreements with "many countries" to support the administration's deportation plans.

• The administration has either approached or plans to approach roughly 51 countries to accept non-citizen deportations from the U.S., per a June report New York Times report.
• At least two of those countries, Eswatini and South Sudan in Africa, have accepted flights from the U.S. since the report came out.
• The DHS did not immediately respond to Axios' Wednesday evening request for comment on how many of the countries have been approached.

Thought bubble via Axios' Dave Lawler: The administration has reportedly discussed safe third-country agreements with many countries for which the "safe" description is very much in question.

• Take Libya or South Sudan, both of which have been wracked by instability and violence for years. Several other countries involved in these deals are among the poorest in the world.
• The prospect of deporting migrants thousands of miles away to unfamiliar and often unstable countries has raised alarm among human rights groups, but the idea has strong support within the administration.

Here are the countries that have already accepted deportees who are not their citizens:

Eswatini

Five migrants from Cuba, Jamaica, Laos, Vietnam and Yemen were deported to the tiny African nation of Eswatini on Tuesday, the DHS announced.

• DHS spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin wrote on X that the flight was carrying individuals who had been convicted of a range of crimes that included murder, homicide, and child rape.

El Salvador

The Trump administration sent at least 238 Venezuelan migrants to a notorious El Salvadorian maximum security prison under the Alien Enemies Act in March, claiming that they were terrorists and members of a violent gang.

By the numbers: An April CBS News report found 75% of the migrants sent to the prison had no criminal record.

Mexico

Mexico has received roughly 6,000 non-Mexicans from the U.S. as of late April, per Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum.

• Sheinbaum said the non-Mexicans her country was accepting for "humanitarian reasons" comprise a small number of the nearly 39,000 migrants the U.S. has deported to Mexico since Jan. 20.

Guatemala

Guatemalan President Bernardo Arevalo announced in February that his country had agreed to accept third-country nationals from the United States and would be ramping up deportation flights from the U.S. by 40%.

• Arevalo told NBC News that the agreement was not supposed to provide a pathway for people to seek asylum in Guatemala. Rather, the country would serve as a pit stop in the process of sending people back to their home countries.

Costa Rica

Costa Rica accepted roughly 200 third-country nationals from two different U.S. flights through the end of February, per a May Human Rights Watch report.

• On the planes were at least 81 children and two pregnant women.

What they're saying: After announcing the expulsion agreement, Costa Rican President Rodrigo Chaves said his country was helping its "economically powerful brother to the north."

• Costa Rican officials have said the U.S. will cover the costs of the deported people's stay in the country, and that the arrangement was expected to be a temporary stop in the repatriation process.

Panama

The U.S. has deported hundreds of people to Panama since February as part of a deal for the country serve as a "bridge" while the U.S. bears the financial costs, per AP.

• The migrants are from countries including Iran, India, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Afghanistan and China.

Rwanda

The U.S. paid the Rwandan government $100,000 to accept an Iraqi citizen in April and agreed to take 10 more deportees, the New York Times reported.

• Negotiations reached over the Iraqi citizen "proved the concept for a new removal program, according to the report.

South Sudan

The U.S. deported eight men to South Sudan in July, after a legal battle diverted their deportation flight to Djibouti for several weeks.

• Some of the men deported were from Cuba, Laos, Mexico, Myanmar and Vietnam.

Kosovo

This landlocked Balkan nation in Europe agreed to host 50 noncitizen deportees from the U.S. in June.

• The deal would allow noncitizens to be "temporarily relocated" before being sent back to their home country.

The intrigue: Kosovo reportedly agreed to accept the noncitizens from the U.S. in the hope that the administration will continue to lobby other nations to recognize the small country's independence.
