More than half of Latin Americans deported from US to Congo are now back home
More than half of 15 Latin Americans deported from the US to Congo under Trump-era policies have returned to their home countries, with some using an IOM-assisted voluntary return program despite US court protections against deportation. The Congolese government states further departures are planned, while rights lawyers challenge similar practices in Equatorial Guinea.
