US Deportations to DRC Under Scrutiny
Just read about 15 South American women deported from the US to the Democratic Republic of Congo under a controversial 'third-country' agreement. They're being pressured to return to their home countries like Colombia and Peru, even after some were granted asylum due to risks like torture and persecution. One woman described being shackled during the 27-hour trip. Rights advocates say these deportations to unfamiliar, high-risk countries aim to intimidate migrants into leaving the US.
