Mullin Defends Ending Haiti TPS in Tense CNN Exchange

DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin defended ending Haiti's Temporary Protected Status on CNN's State of the Union, arguing TPS was never meant to be permanent and that some Haitians under TPS could have adjusted their status long ago. Jake Tapper pressed Mullin on safety and logistics of deportations, including questions about returning Haitians amid security concerns in Haiti and a State Department advisory. Mullin said deportation flights could be used and that beneficiaries would receive roughly $2,100 to return home, as the administration weighs safety factors and policy details before any removals proceed.

South Africa braces for migrant exodus as June 30 deadline nears

Thousands of African migrants are leaving South Africa amid rising anti-migrant sentiment and protests, as anti-immigration groups set a June 30 deadline for undocumented residents to depart and threaten a national shutdown. Police are on high alert after xenophobic attacks, with neighboring countries beginning evacuations while South Africa continues deportations and tightening border controls. President Ramaphosa acknowledged border-control failures but said illegal immigration is not the sole cause of the country’s social and economic woes.

Europe pivots to deportation centers under new Return Regulation

The EU’s new Return Regulation moves Europe toward detaining and deporting migrants in third countries, potentially hosting facilities in Africa or Asia. While Brussels says the framework will boost removals of rejected asylum-seekers and deter irregular arrivals, NGOs warn it could trap hundreds of thousands of people in detention for up to 30 months, with risks including family separations and rights violations. The practical details—where centers will be located, how long people can be held, and how children’s education will be safeguarded—remain unresolved, and past attempts (like Italy’s Albania model) have struggled to deliver results.

EU reaches deal to speed deportations with outside-EU return hubs

EU negotiators reached a deal to speed up deportations, allowing member states to send those ordered to leave to “return hubs” outside the bloc, with some provisions taking effect immediately and others after a year. The package includes stricter rules for security threats, potential home searches, longer detentions, entry bans and penalties for non-cooperation, drawing praise for restoring EU control but drawing sharp criticism from rights groups over risks to detainees and minors. The EU Council and Parliament still need to approve the measure.

Deportations to so-called unsafe countries surge under Trump, drawing legal and moral debate

A Marshall Project analysis shows the Trump administration deported more than 21,000 people to countries the State Department deemed too dangerous to visit—destinations including Ukraine, Haiti and Myanmar—most with no criminal convictions and at least 600 children among the deportees. The report highlights Iran, where 18 people were deported in late January ahead of planned strikes, and notes three Iran-bound flights since September, raising international-law concerns about asylum protections and torture risk. It also discusses the use and rollback of temporary protected status and compares these deportations to similar practices under other administrations, including Haiti under Biden.

Russia’s Occupation Expands Deportations, Russification, and Drone Training Across Ukraine

Russia continues deporting Ukrainian prisoners to penal colonies in Russia, funds 'University Shifts' to transport Ukrainian teens to Russian universities for assimilation, and pursues Russification through language policies; Crimea is institutionalizing drone training in education, Mariupol sees eviction campaigns, and citizenship renunciation is being streamlined. Economic incentives like a free economic zone and tourism development aim to integrate occupied areas, while fuel shortages and governance challenges illuminate the fragility of Moscow’s control amid ongoing hostilities.

Deported to Iran Before the Bombs Fell: A Trump-Era Immigration Controversy

In the year before a planned U.S. war with Iran, the Trump administration deported over 200 people to Iran, even as the State Department warned Americans not to travel there, highlighting a broader pattern of removals to dangerous countries (more than 21,000 to places like Ukraine, Haiti and Venezuela). Critics argue the policy violates refugee and international-law protections, including asylum and Temporary Protected Status, and raises serious human-rights concerns, with cases cited of a Christian convert and a dissident sent to Iran and a broader question of due process in deportations.
