Costa Rica Takes in Second Batch of Deportees

0:00Costa Rica just took in a second batch of migrants deported from the United States, all part of a deal to handle third country nationals under the Trump Administration's push. Back in March, President Rodrigo Chavez signed an agreement with U.S. Special Envoy Kristi Noem, allowing up to 25 deportees per week to land. In San Jose, this latest group of 30 arrived Friday at Juan Santa Maria International Airport, facing folks from Brazil, Romania, China, Uzbekistan, and more, plus a few Costa Ricans. They're getting help from migration police and the international organization for migration, with options to head back home voluntarily, or apply for, humanitarian residency right there in Costa Rica. Meanwhile, this fits a bigger pattern, as the U.S. inked similar packs with places like Honduras, Rwanda, and some Caribbean islands, leaving many. Migrants stuck in unfamiliar spots without clear paths forward. Stay informed with Canada News today, AI-powered updates.
