US sends second flight of migrants back to China for repatriation

The US has conducted a second large flight to China, an effort it said demonstrated its “continued commitment to pursuing sustained cooperation” with Beijing on reducing undocumented migration.

The US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) did not disclose how many deportees were aboard the flight, which departed on Tuesday, but said it was the second removal of Chinese nationals from the US this year. The department did not disclose where the flight took off from or where in China it would land.
