flag U.S., UK, and Australia expanded mass deportations in 2024–2025, targeting non-criminals and undermining asylum rights.

flag In 2024 and 2025, the U.S., Australia, and the UK expanded deportation and detention policies, with the U.S. under Trump using military bases and agreements with 58 countries to deport non-citizens, including those without criminal records. flag Australia’s Labor government signed a $2.5 billion deal with Nauru to host deportees, while the UK, despite pledging to end the Rwanda plan, deported nearly 35,000 people—25% more than the previous year—and proposed return hubs in third countries. flag Similar trends are emerging in Europe, where the EU is considering deporting asylum seekers to nations with no prior ties. flag These actions reflect a global shift toward criminalizing migration, eroding due process, and normalizing mass removals, driven by decades of securitized borders and racialized policing, leading experts to warn of the "death of asylum."
