Apply extradition of French harbour (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

deport

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'apply extradition' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'of french harbour' is the wordplay.
'of french' becomes 'de' ('of' in French).
'harbour' becomes 'port' (I've seen this before).
'de'+'port'='DEPORT'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for deport that I've seen before include "Expel unwanted person from country" , "Expel from country - not a citizen" , "Exile" , "Remove an unwanted person from a country" , "Evict an alien" .)
