Human Rights Watch released a detailed report documenting the deportation of almost 13,000 third-country nationals, primarily Cuban nationals, between January 2025 and March 2026 without due process or access to basic services. The report profiled 53 deportees who had fled political repression in Cuba, built lives in the US for many years, and were held in immigration detention facing overcrowding, poor medical care, and inadequate conditions. These individuals were deported to Mexico without documentation, money, or belongings, and none were permitted to challenge their deportation, violating due process rights under US and international law. The deportees now face Mexico's under-resourced asylum system with no legal status, shelter, or medication, with most over age 60 and having chronic health conditions.
