Congo will receive some deportees as part of a new deal under the Trump administration’s third-country program

Congo will receive some migrants as part of a new deal under the Trump administration’s third-country program, its government said Sunday, the latest such African nation to receive migrants being deported from the U.S.

The deportees will start arriving in Congo this month, the Congolese Ministry of Communications said in a statement, without further details on the date or the number of deportees expected.

It described the arrangement as a “temporary” one that reflects Congo’s “commitment to human dignity and international solidarity.” It would come with zero costs to the government with the U.S. covering the needed logistics, it said.

    Does this slavery also involve the involuntary movement of a person from one place to another? Por que no los dos?

      It can be both. Sorry I didn’t mean to say trafficking slaves isn’t a thing.

      Yes of course it would be both.
