Congo in talks with US over third-country deportations, sources say - Reuters

The Democratic Republic of Congo is in negotiations with the United States regarding third-country deportations, according to sources familiar with the discussions. The talks suggest the Trump administration may be exploring arrangements to send certain individuals to Congo as part of its immigration enforcement strategy. Congo's willingness to engage in such negotiations could provide an additional avenue for US deportations beyond traditional bilateral agreements. The specific terms, scope, and timeline of any potential agreement remain unclear. Such arrangements would represent a shift in how the US handles deportations of individuals from countries with which it lacks formal cooperation.
