The first group of migrants deported from the United States arrived in the Democratic Republic of Congo early Friday. Approximately 15 Latin American deportees landed in Kinshasa, marking the first such arrivals in the country.
These deportations are the result of a recent bilateral agreement reached between Washington and Kinshasa. The Democratic Republic of Congo is the latest African nation to agree to accept expelled migrants from the United States.
The arrival of the South American deportees was confirmed by one of the migrants, a lawyer in contact with the group, and two airport sources.
