UN human rights chief Volker Türk also criticizes a number of migration control methods, including forcing migrants to return to dangerous places and to countries they have no connection to.

"I call on the US to stop the return of people to places where they could be exposed to irreversible harm, including Haiti, and to ensure due process in all deportations to third countries," he says.

US President Donald Trump has prioritized the fight against illegal immigration during his second term, with thousands of people being arrested.
