Respondents ordered removed to a country other than their country of nationality, following a granted motion to pretermit. Some of these removals occur under formal third-country Asylum Cooperative Agreements (ACAs).
A removal order is a court determination that someone is removable — it does not mean removal has occurred. Orders can be appealed or remain unexecuted. This dashboard shows ordered destinations, not confirmed departures.
An Asylum Cooperative Agreement (ACA) lets the U.S. close an asylum case and remove someone to a designated “safe third country” instead of their country of origin. This dashboard counts every third-country pretermit removal order, whether or not the destination is a confirmed ACA signatory — EOIR records no ACA marker, so ACA status is matched against a separately maintained list of countries. Confirmed signatories are currently Ecuador, Honduras, Guatemala, Paraguay, Belize, Liberia, Uganda and Cape Verde; for the authoritative, current list see the tracker maintained with Human Rights First. To see how these figures are calculated, review our methodology for this dashboard (PDF).
