The Democratic Republic of Congo said it will begin receiving migrants deported from the United States under a new third-country agreement, describing the deal as a "commitment to human dignity and international solidarity," even as similar arrangements have drawn criticism over due process and human rights risks.
In a statement obtained by The Associated Press, Congo's Communications Ministry said deportees are expected to arrive this month, though it did not specify how many individuals would be transferred or provide a timeline. The government emphasized that the agreement is "temporary" and will not impose costs on Congo, with the United States covering logistical expenses.
