89 migrants placed in US immigration detention in 2026; some deported to Belarus

89 migrants were placed in immigration detention facilities in the US in 2026. Three have already been deported to Belarus, and another three agreed to voluntary departure.

For the rest, the choice is limited: voluntary departure or forced deportation — in handcuffs and with a bag over the head.

The free ride for those who fled, hoping to slip into the US and live off American social benefits, is long over. They will be hunted across the country, jailed, and deported.

Such are the 'changes'.
