US EditionCosta Rica to Accept 25 ‘Third Country’ Deportees From U.S. Every Week
The United States will fund the program, and deportees will receive temporary legal status while their cases are processed under Costa Rican law.
- On Thursday, Costa Rican authorities agreed to accept up to 25 migrants deported from the United States weekly, supporting the Trump administration's policy of deporting immigrants to third countries.
- This agreement was formalized during a visit by Kristi Noem, Washington's envoy for the Shield of the Americas initiative, a regional coalition aligned with United States migration enforcement goals.
- The United States will fund the program, while the International Organization for Migration provides housing and food; in 2025, Costa Rica housed 200 migrants at the CATEM migrant center in Paso Canoas.
- Costa Rica's Constitutional Chamber previously ruled in favor of a habeas corpus petition regarding migrants held at CATEM, citing poor conditions and restrictions on freedom of movement.
- Critics argue the policy conflicts with Costa Rica's democratic image and human rights emphasis, while officials have not clarified how long deportees will stay or what options exist if return is delayed.
