The Trump administration has secured a new agreement with the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) to take in deported illegal aliens.
Deportees will begin arriving in the troubled African nation this month under the new arrangement, according to the country’s Ministry of Communications.
The arrangement is described as temporary, with the U.S. covering all logistical costs.
The DRC said the agreement reflects its “commitment to human dignity and international solidarity” and confirmed each case would be reviewed individually.
Their statement read:
This initiative is established in accordance with the sovereignty of the Democratic Republic of the Congo regarding the management of access to and residence of foreigners on its territory, and is part of its international and regional commitments regarding the protection of migrants’ rights.
It also reflects the Congolese State’s unwavering commitment to human dignity and international solidarity. A country deeply affected by humanitarian realities and already hosting populations of diverse nationalities, the Democratic Republic of Congo remains committed to the values of hospitality and shared responsibility among nations.
