Congo says it will receive third-country deportees under new deal with US - Reuters

The Democratic Republic of Congo has agreed to accept deportees from third countries under a new arrangement with the United States. The deal allows the Trump administration to send individuals who cannot be returned to their home countries to Congo, expanding options for handling deportation cases that face legal or diplomatic obstacles. This agreement is part of the administration's broader effort to accelerate removals and reduce the number of migrants in U.S. custody. Congo becomes one of several nations being engaged to accept third-country nationals, a strategy that has faced scrutiny from human rights organizations concerned about the welfare of deportees. The arrangement reflects the administration's prioritization of border enforcement and removal operations.
