How can we translate
Los inmigrantes estan siendo devueltos en caliente.
It means once they set foot in Spain they are send back without any contemplation.

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.

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

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

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