Costa Rica has agreed to act as a “bridge” for the repatriation of illegal immigrants from India and Central Asia from the United States. The immigrants sent from the United States will remain in Costa Rica until they can be returned to their countries. According to a statement issued by the office of Costa Rican President Rodrigo Chavez Robles, the first batch of 200 immigrants will arrive at Juan Santamaria International Airport on Wednesday on a commercial flight.
“The government of Costa Rica has agreed to cooperate with the United States in the repatriation of 200 illegal immigrants. These people are from Central Asian countries and India.” The statement did not say how many of them are from India. It added, “Costa Rica will act as a bridge for illegal immigrants to reach their countries of origin.” A total of 332 Indians have already been deported to India in 3 batches during the Trump administration’s crackdown on illegal immigrants.
