    They are NOT deportees. They are not being deported.

    They’re being RENDITIONED.

    Deported people are sent back to their own countries where they likely have resources or the ability to live and function.

    Renditioning is intentionally putting people in places where they have no ability to communicate or to live. It’s like a death sentence for at least many of them.

      I’m going to disagree with you with two arguments: first, authority from Merriam Webster

      Deport transitive verb 1 [Latin deportare] a : to send (a foreign-born noncitizen) out of the country by legal order : to subject to deportation b : to remove (someone or something) : DISPLACE

      2 : to behave or comport (oneself) especially in accord with a code

      Second argument is historical. During WWII, People were deported to concentration camps. They for sure didn’t call the camps their home.
