If true, what is the point of that? Fuel isnt cheap. Why not just drop them off in a neighboring country.
I can think of at least a couple of reasons, including preventing them from returning to the US easily and encouraging others to self-deport to avoid the same fate.
They had to employ lawyers to expel them, and the government has to pay the judges salary as well. In this case they also exhausted their appeals, and sat in detention the entire time with food and medical care.
I would be willing to bet the flight was less than half the price. If they send them to Mexico, they'll be back the next month and you'll have to pay all that again.
If you send them to Cuba, Laos, Myanmar, Vietnam and South Sudan, then you'll have to pay for the fuel of several flights.
Not to mention, it encourages people to self deport because then they can chose where to go. The $375 minimum fine on employing an illegal immigrant sure isn't going to do that, up that fine to something that actually fits the cost to society and maybe we won't have to.

It sounds fake tbh.
Psychological warfare. The message is "self deport to where you want to go or potentially be deported to where you definitely don't want to go."
Not that this story is even real.
