US EditionParaguay Set to Receive Third Country Migrants Deported From US
Paraguay said the migrants have no pending U.S. asylum claims, and Democratic lawmakers estimated more than $40 million in incentives for such deals.
- On Thursday, Paraguay will receive an initial group of 25 Spanish-speaking deportees from the United States as part of President Donald Trump's mass deportation push. Paraguay's Foreign Ministry stated each case was evaluated respecting national sovereignty and international law.
- The Trump administration has awarded more than $40m in contracts to foreign nations as incentives for accepting deportees. Associated Press reports the administration is seeking similar arrangements with 47 additional countries to restrict migration.
- Robert Alter, an official at the United States Embassy in Paraguay, praised the agreement as testament to Washington's close relationship with Paraguay. The collaboration aims to facilitate the "safe and orderly return" of individuals to their countries of origin.
- Critics and advocacy groups argue the deportations represent an "undignified, harrowing and dehumanising process" reflecting "transnational repression." They note destinations like the DRC and South Sudan face significant instability and conflict.
- The Uganda Law Society and the East Africa Law Society have pledged to challenge local third-country deportations after a dozen deportees arrived earlier this month. Such agreements allow the United States to send immigrants to nations where they have no ties.
