Costa Rica to Accept 25 ‘Third Country’ Deportees From US Every Week
Costa Rica will manage up to 25 weekly deportees from the U.S. under a non-binding pact allowing acceptance or rejection and protection from persecution.
- On Monday, Costa Rica agreed to accept 25 weekly migrants deported from the United States, formalizing a pact signed during a visit by U.S. special envoy Kristi Noem.
- The agreement supports President Donald Trump's "Shield of the Americas" policy, which Noem, the former DHS Secretary, is overseeing to facilitate third-country deportations.
- Costa Rican Public Security Minister Mario Zamora Cordero described the pact as a "non-binding migration agreement," allowing the country to accept or reject proposed transfers of foreign nationals.
- Facing past criticism for detaining 200 deportees in a "black hole," Zamora assured that new arrivals would receive better conditions and processing under special migratory status.
- The United States has spent at least $40 million to deport about 300 migrants to third countries, part of a growing trend of similar agreements across Africa and the Americas.
