The news over the weekend was that Columbia refused to allow deportation flights from the US to land. Their president got fairly bellicose, and Trump showed him how the cow eats the cabbage. Columbia is now accepting deportation flights.
The US has a fleet of cargo aircraft, mainly C17 and C130, and they are al rigged for parachute operations. We also own a lot of parachutes. If a nation wants to be reticent about accepting their own citizens, it would simply be a matter of proper rigging, use the static lines, and push then all out from about 1500 AGL. At bayonet point if necessary.
I have heard that the US used this method at least once during the past century to return a person to their home country. This may be urban legend, but it is a fascinating tale. I'm just saying.

Or they could just not waste the parachutes on the hardened criminals...

Jump right out and count to four.
If my chute don't open wide,
Bury me in the Louisiana countryside..."
