Jun 16, 2021 at 21:25 comment added ohwilleke FWIW, there are a number of scenarios beyond the two that you identify. For example, there can be a denial of entry at the border, possibly subject to a claim for asylum (the details of which are the subject of political controversy). Unaccompanied minors are treated differently that those with parents. Diplomats are subject to different rules too (with some minor gradations of different types of diplomatic personnel).

Aug 1, 2019 at 18:27 comment added user102008 A country can refuse to accept deportation of its own nationals back to the country, and that's the reason for INA 243(d) (8 USC 1253(d)), which allows the US government to discontinue issuance of visas to nationals of such a country in retaliation.

Jul 31, 2019 at 21:09 comment added pjc50 I'm not familiar with the US system, but the UK certainly does get travel documents from embassies for the nationals they deport, although it seems a bit under the table theguardian.com/uk-news/2014/may/21/…
Jul 31, 2019 at 21:03 comment added phoog In practice, I am quite certain they work it out through diplomatic channels for each individual before the flight is even scheduled. I am just not privy to the details, which is why I am not answering. It's also interesting to wonder how the process varies according to a country's relationship with the US.
Jul 31, 2019 at 20:54 comment added BobE @phoog - re: How do you think the US would react... One would suppose that if the people claiming to be US nationals had documents to support their claim, the US would have to admit them (albeit perhaps provisionally). OTOH, if they do not have some claim to proper US presence, one would anticipate that Immigration control would not admit them to the interior. So... that supposes that a person being deported from the US MUST have appropriate papers to be acceptable to the receiving country. That's what seems to make sense, but is that what actually happens? (why I'm asking the Q)
Jul 31, 2019 at 20:38 comment added phoog I can't answer in detail, but I have heard of cases in which a receiving country cannot be found, so that addresses the next to last paragraph in broad terms. Of course this is so: how do you think the US would react if some other country showed up unannounced with a planeful of people who claimed to be US nationals? Countries generally recognize an obligation to take their nationals, but there may be disputes about nationality as you note.
