The United States and Costa Rica implemented a bilateral third-country deportation agreement, with the first group of 25 migrants deported to Costa Rica in April 2026. The migrants were citizens of Albania, Cameroon, China, Guatemala, Honduras, India, Kenya, and Morocco. Under the agreement, Costa Rica will receive up to 25 deportees per week. The U.S. provides financial support, while the International Organization for Migration offers food, accommodation, and temporary humanitarian legal status for the first seven days.
