flag Costa Rica to accept 25 U.S. migrants weekly under new deportation deal.

flag Costa Rica has agreed to accept 25 migrants per week deported from the United States as part of a new arrangement with the Trump administration to send immigrants to third countries. flag The deal, signed during a visit by U.S. special envoy Kristi Noem, marks Costa Rica's entry into a growing list of nations engaging in controversial third-country deportation deals. flag Costa Rica stated it will process deportees under special migration status, avoid returning individuals to countries where they face persecution, and ensure humane conditions with support from the U.N. International Organization for Migration. flag The move has drawn criticism due to past human rights concerns, including reports of detained minors held in poor conditions. flag The U.S. has spent at least $40 million on such deportations, which some legal experts say circumvent protections against forced returns.
