Banished to alien lands: Trump’s secret deportation deals

The United States sends many people away from the country. This is called deportation. A woman from Iran takes a plane. She wears metal bands called shackles on her body. She does not know where she is going. The plane takes her to a country in Africa. She does not know this country.

Many people go on these planes. Officers do not tell them where they are going. The people only see a map on a screen in the plane. This helps them learn their destination. Thousands of people leave the US this way. The US government makes secret plans with other countries to send these people there.

These trips cost a lot of money. People who pay taxes, called taxpayers, give millions of dollars for this. An important report says that these are 'secret deals'. They show how strong the US government is. The report says these deals are hidden from public view.
