"Once the migrants leave U.S. soil, they lose access to any semblance of rights they may have had."
— American Immigration Council, December 2025


What This Is

This database tracks every known facility, country, and infrastructure project where the United States sends, detains, or plans to detain people outside of traditional ICE detention — including:

  1. Third-country deportation destinations — Countries that accepted U.S. deportees who are NOT their citizens
  2. Foreign prison partnerships — Facilities like CECOT where the U.S. pays to imprison deportees
  3. Domestic mega-facilities — The TITUS network of warehouse detention centers
  4. Military-contracted infrastructure — Facilities built through the Navy's WEXMAC/TITUS contract

Why this matters: The deportation machine is expanding beyond U.S. borders. People deported to third countries lose all legal protections. People sent to CECOT face torture. The TITUS network is building permanent concentration camp infrastructure across the United States using military contracts to bypass oversight.

CECOT is the show pony. The TITUS network is the real machine.


PART 1: FOREIGN DETENTION — Third-Country Deportation Destinations

CECOT — El Salvador (CRITICAL)

- Trump has stated he would also like to send U.S. citizens to CECOT
- Deportation flights departed AFTER federal judge blocked them (contempt of court)

U.S. Payment $7.5 million upfront
Capacity Up to 250 migrants
Deportees Received 7 (August 2025)
Facility Undisclosed location, managed by international organization

South Sudan

Field Detail
First Deportation May 20, 2025 (8 men from Cuba, Laos, Mexico, Myanmar, Vietnam, South Sudan)
Status Active
Key Incident Federal judge ordered plane rerouted; deportation completed July 5, 2025 despite court order

Conditions:
- Deportee Munoz-Gutierrez: "felt kidnapped"
- South Sudan is one of the world's most unstable countries — civil war, famine, displacement

Eswatini (formerly Swaziland)

Field Detail
Deportees 5 men (citizens of Vietnam, Jamaica, Cuba, Yemen, Laos)
Conditions Solitary confinement in prison for undetermined period
Status Legal challenge filed by Eswatini activists

Conditions Extreme heat, mosquitos, unsanitary water
Legal Challenge Ghanaian lawyers filed lawsuit (October 2025) arguing violation of Convention Against Torture

Costa Rica & Panama

Field Detail
Purpose Transit/processing for Asian deportees
Status Active
Key Issue 40%+ of migrants in Panama refuse return to origin countries (security concerns)
Facility Camp in remote Darien Province, Panama

Sources:
- Al Jazeera: Costa Rica and Panama accepting deportees


Iran (via Qatar)

Field Detail
Date September 30, 2025
Deportees 55 Iranians
Route ICE → Qatar → Iranian authorities → Iran
Critical Issue Group included political dissidents and a Christian convert — sent to a country that executes for apostasy and political dissent
Status Completed. Fate of deportees unknown.

This is refoulement. Sending political dissidents and religious converts to Iran is sending them to potential execution.


Additional Countries with Agreements

Country Status Notes
Canada "Safe third country" agreement Expansion of existing agreement
Guatemala "Safe third country" agreement CECOT-modeled prison (2,000 capacity) announced Oct 2025
Honduras "Safe third country" agreement Details undisclosed
Belize "Safe third country" agreement Details undisclosed
Paraguay "Safe third country" agreement Details undisclosed

The U.S. has asked or plans to ask nearly 60 countries to accept deportees who are not their citizens (New York Times).


PART 2: TITUS — The Domestic Concentration Camp Network

What is TITUS?

Territorial Integrity of the United States (TITUS) is the codename for a program using Navy contracts to build massive detention infrastructure across the U.S.

Field Detail
Contract Vehicle Worldwide Expeditionary Multiple Award Contract (WEXMAC 2.1)
Administering Agency Naval Supply Systems Command (NAVSUP)
Original Value $10 billion (military logistics abroad)
Current Value $55 billion ($45 billion increase)
Purpose "Infrastructure, staffing, services, and/or supplies necessary to provide safe and secure confinement for aliens"
Key Feature Bypasses traditional public bidding — task orders can be issued in days or hours

Why This Is Worse Than CECOT

CECOT holds 40,000 people in El Salvador. TITUS is building capacity for 100,000+ people across the United States using military contracting mechanisms that bypass:
- Congressional oversight of individual facilities
- Local government approval
- Public bidding and transparency
- Traditional ICE inspection standards

The infrastructure is a "ghost" network that can be materialized anywhere in the U.S. Task orders convert warehouses to detention centers in days.

PART 3: CECOT-MODEL EXPORTS — Countries Building Their Own

The CECOT model is spreading:

Country Facility Capacity Status
Ecuador El Encuentro Unknown Opened November 2025
Guatemala Unnamed 2,000 Announced October 2025
Costa Rica CACCO Unknown Under construction 2026

PART 4: WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

The Known Unknowns

  1. Full DHS spreadsheet of 20+ warehouse locations — partially leaked, not fully public
  2. TITUS task orders — which specific facilities have been activated?
  3. Third-country conditions — What happens to deportees after they arrive? Where exactly are they held?
  4. Death documentation — Are people dying in CECOT, in third-country facilities, in TITUS mega-warehouses?
  5. Financial flows — Who profits? Track the contractors, the payments, the private prison stocks

The Unknown Unknowns

"There's something WORSE than CECOT out there. CECOT is the show pony."

What we're looking for:
- Undisclosed facilities — sites not on the leaked DHS spreadsheet
- Military black sites — detention at military installations not publicly acknowledged
- Offshore processing — are there facilities at U.S. military bases abroad (Guantanamo model)?
- Private contractor facilities — sites operated by TITUS contractors with no public oversight
- Third-country "dark" agreements — deals with countries that haven't been disclosed
- What happens between "removal" and "arrival"? — gaps in the deportation pipeline where people disappear

The 60 countries the U.S. has approached for deportation agreements is a number. The actual agreements signed are a fraction of that. What about the countries that said yes but haven't been reported?
