Deported Latin Americans Land in Kinshasa, Congo

0:00It's April 17. This is Canada News Today, powered by AI. I'm Cory with the story. Around 15 people from Latin America just got deported from the United States and landed in Kinshasa, Congo's capital, in the early hours of Friday. This marks the latest move in the Trump administration's push to speed up migrant removals through deals with African nations. These folks had legal protections from US judges that blocked their return to home countries. So now, they're holed up in a hotel in Kinshasa for a die. Short stay, according to their lawyer. Congo's government confirmed the arrivals and called it a temporary arrangement under a new third country program, stressing their commitment to human. Dignity. While the US puts all the logistics bills, meanwhile, the US has similar packs with at least seven other African countries, wrapping up these offloads amid tighter migration rules.
