US EditionArgentina in advanced talks to become destination for US deportations, New York Times reports
The agreement would allow the U.S. to deport migrants to Argentina before returning them home, supporting a mass deportation campaign and easing U.S. immigration system pressure.
- On January 30, 2026, The New York Times reported the U.S. and Argentina are in advanced talks after Juan Navarro sent a proposal involving Foreign Minister Pablo Quirno, though no deal is finalized.
- Amid Javier Milei's eagerness to court Washington, the pact would bolster President Donald Trump's push to expand removals to third countries, as Milei's government tightens immigration rules.
- Argentina agreed to take a few hundred deportees over two years, with deportees flown there and offered flights home, but officials warn of costs and limited infrastructure amid economic strain.
- Argentina’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs did not immediately respond, while Tierra del Fuego government said they were kept in the dark about at least two private flights to Ushuaia.
- Similar third‑country pacts already exist in the region, including Paraguay, Ecuador, Honduras, and US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent called Argentina the 'centrepiece' of US strategy.
