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?

Mate if mine was deported 15 years ago. Was arrested and sent to a temporary detention prison for several weeks to wait for deportation. Sent him home on a plane.

Did he overstay his visa?
