Democratic Republic of Congo agrees to accept third-country deportees from the United States under new deal

The Democratic Republic of Congo announced it will receive migrants deported from the United States who are not Congolese nationals, under a temporary arrangement beginning this month. The US will cover all costs and logistics for the deportations, with Congo bearing no financial burden. This makes Congo the latest African nation to accept third-country deportees as part of the Trump administration's immigration policies.
