Read this first. CGTN America is Chinese state media. It is published here as commentary, under the Coalition’s rule that commentary may come from practitioners, scholars, news media and governments, and it is labelled because a reader is entitled to know who is speaking. Nothing anywhere on this site rests on this source. Every factual claim the Coalition makes about third-country removals is sourced elsewhere and can be checked without reference to this broadcast.
The Coalition has confirmed the publisher, the title, the running time and that the video is live. It has not verified the contents. No transcript was obtainable and nothing in the broadcast is quoted, summarised or relied on here.

Why carry it at all. The Coalition’s position is that the practice documented across this site is a matter of international concern rather than an American domestic argument, and part of the evidence for that is who is discussing it. A state broadcaster in Beijing covering removals from the United States to Africa is a fact about the reach of the story.
It is also a case the Coalition would rather handle in the open than quietly leave out. A site that names states and officials is judged by the company its sources keep. The answer is not to pretend the broadcast does not exist, and not to launder it either. It is to say what it is, decline to rely on it, and let the reader weigh it.
For the same subject from sources the Coalition does rely on, see the reports from CBS News, Reuters and Democracy Now! carried here, and the court decision register, where each entry links the decision itself.
