ICE deports asylum-seekers to countries other than their origin, some abandon cases under detention pressure

CBS News reports on a pattern across U.S. immigration courts where judges order removal to unrelated nations; The Guardian focuses on Canadian officials handing asylum seekers to ICE, highlighting international cooperation in the policy.
