Costa Rica to accept 25 ‘third country’ deportees from US every week
AP News ^ | March 26, 2026 | Or do a and Janetsky

Costa Rica said Thursday that it would accept 25 migrants deported from the United States per week as part of an agreement to help the Trump administration’s latest policy of deporting immigrants to “third countries.”

The Central American nation joins a growing number of countries across Africa and the Americas that have signed contentious, often secretive agreements with the U.S. to accept deportees from other countries as U.S. President Donald Trump pressures governments to help him advance his agenda. In many cases, migrants who previously hoped to seek asylum in the U.S. are left in a legal “black hole” in foreign countries where they don’t speak the language.

Countries who have agreed to receive third-party migrants include South Sudan, Honduras, Rwanda, Guyana, and several Caribbean islands like Dominica and St. Kitts and Nevis.

I’m a fan of Africa being their permanent home.

Remember that gang banger who ICE picked up who said ‘I’m not going back to Haiti? His name is Wisteguens Jean Quely Charles, and he is still in America. He is at an ICE detention center in Louisiana.

Why? Costa Rica is probably the nicest country in Central America. It is not dysfunctional. Why are they going to send the worst of the worst, to ruin a nice country? Send ‘em to Africa.

Send ‘em to Nicaragua or El Salvador or Honduras. Those 3 countries are all scheisse holes.

I see AP still calling the invaders “migrants.” Disgraceful.

Deportees, half of whom were minors, had their passports seized and were locked up for months in a rural detention facility near the Panama border, an incident that fueled lawsuits and accusations of human rights abuses. The country’s supreme court ordered their release last June.

Many deportees who said they were too scared to return to their country were later given temporary permits to stay in Costa Rica. Panama, which locked up hundreds of deportees around the same time, came under similar criticism.


temporary permits

It makes sense that the Costa Rican authorities will show a preference for accepting Spanish speaking deportees who don’t have long criminal records, want to work for a living-and are not crazier than s***house rats. That is the only way I can see this being a good thing for Costa Rica...

🚨@ICEgov has lodged a detainer against Bairon Posada-Hernandez, the criminal illegal alien from Honduras who shoved two men, including an 83-year-old Veteran, onto NYC subway tracks completely unprovoked.

I agree Costa Rica is great. My guess is that the 25 they are accepting each week are non violent people who jumped the border at Majorkas’s request.

The REGION they are from. That would work. Give them a $100 a month stripend. Put it in a bank where they have to show up to get it one week at a time.
