Costa Rica takes in a second group of migrants deported from the US
- Costa Rica welcomed a second group of migrants deported from the United States under a new bilateral agreement.
- The agreement, signed in March, allows up to 25 third-country nationals to be expelled to Costa Rica weekly.
- The latest group includes 30 deportees from multiple nationalities, with eight Costa Ricans among them.
- Deportees may join the Assisted Voluntary Return program or seek humanitarian residency in Costa Rica.
- The group’s arrival follows other countries signing similar deportation arrangements with the U.S.
- Most migrants hope for asylum, but many end up in legal limbo in foreign countries.
- Costa Rica is among countries accepting third-country nationals deported from the U.S.
- The first deportee group to Costa Rica arrived last Saturday under the same agreement.
- The policy and deployments are part of broader U.S. efforts at deportations to third countries.
