• ICE attorneys are filing motions to deport asylum seekers to 'third countries' like Guatemala, Honduras, Ecuador, and Uganda.
• This tactic aims to bypass US asylum hearings, potentially wiping cases off the docket and deporting migrants abroad.
• Critics argue it sidesteps due process and places migrants in dangerous, unfamiliar situations without support.
• DHS defends the policy as a lawful tool to manage backlogs and curb asylum system abuse, ensuring fair consideration in partner nations.
