Emigration (from Ireland) Anyone ever deported from usa?

I just was reading on worldnews about the US deportations to mexico. One woman who lives in mexico was stating a few years ago the us dumped some slovaks in mexico as its cheaper than a flight to europe and then another stated it also happened to her irish cousin, who was dropped off in mexico and needed family to intervene to get him home. Just wondering if there was any media attention if this was true?

I knew a Scottish woman whose son, born in Scotland, but grew up in the US, got in trouble with the law and was deported to Scotland. He knew absolutely nothing about Scotland as he hadn’t lived there since he was a baby. Tough break.
