Lawyers filed a lawsuit against Costa Rica on Thursday, arguing that it violated the rights of minors deported from the U.S. The suit claims these children were held in detention for nearly two months in harmful conditions. This case follows the U.S. government’s initiative under the Trump administration to increase deportations by collaborating with Central American countries. The lawsuit was submitted to the U.N. committee overseeing the Convention on the Rights of the Child, highlighting both Costa Rica's responsibility and the potential for international oversight.
