The administration deported Khalil to the Central African Republic as part of an expanding third-country deportation campaign.

The administration announced the deportation of Khalil, an Afghan man in his early 20s, to the Central African Republic. Khalil was granted legal protection against being returned to Afghanistan by a U.S. immigration judge due to fears of persecution by the Taliban. However, the administration used a third-country deportation agreement to send him to a nation where he has no personal ties. This move is part of a broader campaign by the administration to send illegal immigrants to third countries. Over a 10-day period, more than 100 deportees from nations such as Afghanistan, Cuba, Nicaragua, and Iran were sent to African countries including Burundi, Cameroon, and Sierra Leone. While some deportees were sent to countries where they have no ties, others were sent to countries where they have no ties. The administration announced that if an illegal immigrant chooses to refuse to go to their home country, the government is required by law to find a safe and secure nation for them to go to. If an illegal immigrant chooses to go home, the administration will provide a free flight and a $3,000 check.
