Costa Rica to accept 25 deportees per week under Trump deportation effort

AI Summary

medium article 2 min

Costa Rica has agreed to accept 25 migrants per week deported from the United States, joining other nations in a "third-country" agreement under a Trump-era policy. The agreement, signed during a visit from US special envoy Kristi Noem, aims to assist the US in deporting immigrants to countries other than their origin. Costa Rican officials call the pact a "non-binding migration agreement." Similar agreements have been made with countries across Africa and the Americas, including South Sudan, Honduras, and Guyana. Critics argue these agreements leave migrants in legal uncertainty in foreign countries.
