US in talks with DR Congo over third-country deportations 09.04.2026

CGTN

The United States is reportedly in discussions with the Democratic Republic of Congo (DR Congo) regarding the potential processing of unauthorized migrants within Congolese territory, a strategy referred to as "third-country deportations." These negotiations, confirmed by UN sources and diplomats briefed by US officials, aim to expedite migrant removals from the US. This initiative is occurring alongside broader diplomatic and economic engagements, including US support for a peace agreement between DR Congo and Rwanda and efforts to secure access to Congolese critical minerals. While details remain scarce, including the number of individuals affected or their nationalities, concerns have been raised by human rights advocates regarding the potential for forced returns. Migrants from South America, such as Venezuelans, are reportedly being considered for this processing.
