00:00Sample this, Costa Rica, a rugged rainforested Central American country with coastlines on

00:13the Caribbean and Pacific, has announced its collaboration with the United States to assist

00:19in the repatriation of illegal migrants from Central Asia and India.

00:24This initiative positions Costa Rica as the third Central American nation to support United

00:29States deportation efforts under President Donald Trump's administration.

00:33The Costa Rican President's Office released a statement confirming the arrival of 200

00:38migrants from Central Asia and India on a commercial flight from the U.S. scheduled

00:43for Wednesday.

00:44Upon arrival, these individuals will be housed at a temporary migrant care center near the

00:49Panamanian border before being transported to their respective countries of origin.

00:54The U.S. government will fully finance this process with oversight from the International

00:59Organization for Migration.

01:02This move follows similar agreements with Panama and Guatemala, both of which have recently

01:07begun accepting deported migrants from the U.S.

01:11These collaborations highlight a regional effort to address illegal immigration and

01:16streamline the repatriation process.

01:19The data indicates a surge in deportation under the current U.S. administration.

01:25In the past fiscal year, the ICE deported over 270,000 individuals to 192 countries,

01:32marking the highest annual count since 2014.

01:35Notably, at least 104 Indian citizens were deported on a U.S. military aircraft earlier

01:41this month, followed by a second group of 117 illegal Indian immigrants just a few days

01:46ago.

01:47The third aircraft also landed the same day.

01:51The U.S. government's collaboration with countries like Costa Rica aims to facilitate

01:56the efficient and humane return of illegal migrants to their home countries.

02:01As this situation continues to evolve, it raises important questions about international

02:06cooperation, immigration policies, and the challenges faced by deported individuals reintegrating

02:12into their societies.
