True. I should have been more clear: Deportation requires the involvement of the judicial branch. Repatriation has no such requirement. "Repatriation" is a more generic term for returning to one's country of origin.

I did not mean to suggest that "repatriation" was exclusive to POWs, and I apologize if I gave that impression. I meant to distinguish between judicial and non-judicial.
