A repurposed pencil factory in Costa Rica became a temporary shelter for about 200 migrants deported from the U.S., with many being minors from diverse countries. The Trump administration's actions led to these deportations, which garnered little media attention. Initially, deportees were in Panama City, pleading for help. Although legal efforts have freed many, they still face challenges, living in limbo with limited resources and fearing persecution if they return home. The article emphasizes the systemic nature of these deportations and the precarious situation of the migrants involved.
An unexpected wave of deportations from the U.S. is sending migrants to Central America, leaving many in limbo amidst fear of returning to their home countries.
In mid-February, the repurposed pencil factory in southern Costa Rica became a care center for around 200 deported migrants, including many minors.
Legal actions by humanitarian organizations have succeeded in securing the release of deportees, but they remain in precarious situations, reluctant to return home.
The deportations highlight an ongoing trend under the Trump administration, where agreements with Latin American governments contribute to the challenges faced by these migrants.
