US EditionAbout 15 Latin American Deportees From the US Have Arrived in Congo, Lawyer Says
The U.S. has spent at least $40 million to deport about 300 migrants to third countries, according to Senate Democrats.
- On Friday, around 15 deportees from Latin America landed in Kinshasa, Congo, early morning as part of the Trump administration's third-country deportation program; U.S. attorney Alma David confirmed they are staying at a local hotel.

- Lawyers and activists raised concerns about these deals given several participating African nations have poor human rights records, while the U.S. has established similar deportation agreements with at least seven other nations.
