White House border czar Tom Homan said that the United States is aiming to reach deals with several countries to accept deported illegal immigrants whose countries of origin won’t take them back.

“When you’ve got countries that won’t take their nationals back, and they can’t stay here, we find another country willing to accept them,” Homan told Politico in an interview published on Friday, adding that the United States may not send some deported individuals to third countries that agree to accept them.
