Costa Rica has been a willing partner of the US on the issue of illegal migration.
In 2022, Costa Rica and US signed an agreement to enhance cooperation on migration and protection issues, focusing on strengthening Costa Rica’s Migration and Border Police. The arrangement aims to combat migrant smuggling and human trafficking while improving integration programs for migrants, asylum seekers, and refugees.
Last week, Panama received its first flight with 119 deported migrants from countries including China, Pakistan, and Afghanistan. Guatemala, however, has yet to receive any deportees.
The United States is home to an estimated 11 million undocumented migrants, the majority of whom come from Latin America. Many have endured dangerous journeys through harsh terrain, wildlife, and criminal gangs in search of a better life.
During his election campaign, Trump took a hardline stance on undocumented migration, labelling some individuals as “monsters” and “animals.” On his first day in office last month, he declared a national emergency at the southern US border and pledged to deport “millions and millions” of migrants.
