The Trump administration has expanded its deportation policy, asking Central American countries to accept not only their own citizens but also migrants from other parts of the world. Recent incidents saw military planes transporting hundreds of deported migrants, predominantly from Asia and the Middle East, to Panama and Costa Rica. Analysis indicates that regional leaders, constrained by the U.S. threat of tariffs, are under pressure as they navigate this tricky diplomatic situation and may struggle with increasing numbers of deportations that could overwhelm local systems.
Central American countries, long accustomed to taking back their own deported citizens, now face the challenge of also accepting migrants from other countries, driven by U.S. policy.
The Trump administration's recent deportation measures involve sending migrants from Asia and the Middle East to Central America, pushing regional capacities to their limits.
