deporter

One who banishes

A deporter is a person or entity that deports—that is, expels someone from a country.

The term typically refers to government officials or agencies that carry out deportation orders: Immigration authorities acted as deporters of undocumented workers.

Less commonly, it appears in historical contexts describing forced relocations.
