Justice orders release of migrants deported to Costa Rica by Trump
- A Costa Rican court mandated that authorities free approximately 200 migrants, including over 80 children, who were deported from the United States and held at a shelter near the Panama border in February 2025.
- The migrants arrived under a February deal struck between the Trump administration and Costa Rica amid criticism from human rights groups and legal appeals.
- The court found the deportees' detention conditions violated their rights, restricting movement and communications without individual rulings, and required social assistance determination.
- The ruling was issued on Tuesday just before the visit of the U.S. official in charge of homeland security, who is scheduled to meet President Rodrigo Chaves and inspect a temporary detention facility.
- Authorities must define each migrant's immigration status within 15 days, and the decision sets a precedent to prevent similar agreements that limit due process.
