The Trump administration has deported more than 100 illegal immigrants to Uzbekistan, with the Central Asian country picking up the tab for its citizens.
The Department of Homeland Security announced Wednesday that the United States and the government of Uzbekistan had partnered to remove 113 citizens of the three countries: Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, and Kyrgyzstan. The Uzbekistan government “fully funded” the return of its citizens, according to DHS, which did not respond to a request for comment on the cost of the flight.
