"The Congolese Ministry of Communications stated that the deportees will start arriving in Congo this month, although no specific date or number of deportees was provided."
"The arrangement is characterized as 'temporary' and reflects Congo's 'commitment to human dignity and international solidarity,' with the U.S. covering all logistics costs."
"Concerns have been raised by lawyers and activists regarding the nature of these deals, particularly with countries that have poor human rights records."
"A significant issue in these agreements is that many migrants have protection orders from U.S. immigration judges, preventing their return to home countries due to safety concerns."
Congo's government announced it will accept deported migrants from the U.S. under a new deal linked to the Trump administration's third-country program. The arrangement is described as temporary and aims to reflect Congo's commitment to human dignity and international solidarity. The U.S. will cover the logistics costs. This follows similar agreements with at least seven other African nations. Concerns have been raised regarding the human rights records of these nations and the implications for migrants with protection orders from U.S. immigration judges.
