deportations
Sending foreigners back
Deportations are instances of forcing people to leave a country, typically because they entered or stayed illegally, committed crimes, or are otherwise deemed unwelcome by authorities.
The word often appears in political debates about immigration policy: The administration has ramped up deportations.
Mass deportations have historically been used as tools of ethnic cleansing and political repression.
