COSTA RICA (TNND) — Costa Rica announced Monday that it will receive a flight Wednesday from the United States as the Trump administration ramps up deportations of illegal immigrants.
“The Government of Costa Rica agreed to collaborate with the United States in the repatriation of 200 illegal immigrants to their country,” the Costa Rican president’s office said in a statement, adding “Costa Rica will continue to be a world leader in humanitarian issues.”
The flight will carry 200 migrants from Central America and India, making it the second nation in Central America to accept deportees.
Panama received three U.S. deportation flights last week with migrants from China, Uzbekistan, Pakistan, Afghanistan, and other countries.
U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio traveled through the Caribbean and Central America earlier this month and received assurances from Panama and Costa Rica that they were committed to working with the Trump administration on migrant issues.
Costa Rica added it would “serve as a bridge to help them reach their countries of origin” and that the repatriation process would be “fully funded by the U.S. government, under the supervision of the International Organization for Migration.”
