Costa Rica Agrees to Temporarily Host Migrants Deported by the US

The first group of 200 deportees from Central Asia and India will arrive Wednesday under a US-funded program.

Costa Rica has become the third Central American country, after Panama and Guatemala, to accept migrants deported by the United States.
The first group of 200 migrants from Central Asia and India is expected to arrive in Costa Rica on a commercial flight this Wednesday.
The deportees will stay in a temporary migrant care center near Costa Rica's border with Panama until they can be repatriated to their home countries.
The program is fully funded by the US government and supervised by the International Organization for Migration (IOM).
This move is part of a broader US effort, under President Trump, to deport undocumented migrants, including those whose home countries have not yet verified their nationality.
