I agree with Rusty for the specific situation.

There is also "right away" for the more general meaning of "en caliente".

Immigrants are being sent back right away. :thinking:

[poli]

Yes, Angelica, but
also quickly returned.

sent back before they have time to cool off/dry off.

[AngelicaDeAlquezar]

Doesn't "right away" mean "immediately"? :thinking:

[poli]

I equate it to ahora mismo.
It has the same meaning as immediately, but it seems nicer than immediately.
