The State Department's Office of Remigration, established a year ago, operates with minimal oversight and is not publicly acknowledged. This office is reportedly involved in processing substantial payments for the deportation of immigrants, raising concerns about accountability. Critics argue that these actions align with a far-right agenda reminiscent of ethnic cleansing efforts in Europe.
