How it's used
Carries a formal and authoritative tone, typically reserved for legal or government contexts involving immigration control. It implies a non-voluntary action where the subject has no choice in the matter, distinguishing it from general verbs like 送.
Examples
The government decided to repatriate him to his country of origin.
Have those illegal immigrants already been sent away?

Common mistake
Avoid using this for casual situations like sending a friend home or dropping off a package, as it specifically implies a forced removal or deportation by an authority.
