US Edition'Jail or death': migrants expelled by Trump fear for their fate
- Following Donald Trump's return to office in January and his vow to launch the biggest migrant deportation wave in American history, Marwa, a 27-year-old Afghan woman, along with her husband and two-year-old daughter, were detained after arriving at the US-Mexican border earlier this year seeking asylum.
- Fleeing Taliban rule in Afghanistan, Marwa sought freedom to study, work, wear jeans, and visit parks without male supervision, but instead faced a grueling journey through 10 countries starting in Brazil, only to be detained and denied the chance to file an asylum claim.
- Eighteen days after being detained, Marwa and her family were flown to Costa Rica as part of the U.S. Policy of expelling migrants to third countries in Central America, despite Costa Rica's long tradition of offering asylum.
- Marwa, who fears being killed by the Taliban if returned to Afghanistan, stated, "I know if I go back I will die there," and expressed her desire to be close to relatives in Canada, the United States, or Europe, further lamenting their inability to integrate in Costa Rica due to cultural and linguistic barriers.
- Michael Garcia Bochenek of Human Rights Watch and former Costa Rican diplomat Mauricio Herrera have criticized Costa Rica's complicity in U.S. Abuses and the systematic human rights violations against migrants, while Costa Rica cited pressure from its "economically powerful brother to the north" for agreeing to collaborate in the repatriation of illegal immigrants, with 74 migrants already repatriated and another 10 slated to follow, out of a group of about 200, including 80 children, detained near the Panama border.
