Costa Rica Receives Second Group of Migrants Deported from United States Including Indian National

Costa Rica received a second group of migrants deported from the United States under a March bilateral agreement to accept up to 25 third-country nationals weekly. The group included an Indian and nationals from several countries. Deportees are offered participation in the International Organisation for Migration's Assisted Voluntary Return program or can apply for legal residency in Costa Rica under humanitarian categories. This arrangement supports the U.S. policy of deporting immigrants to third countries.
