Bangui. The Central African Republic (CAR) has agreed to accept migrants from other countries who are deported by the United States, according to two sources familiar with the arrangement, marking the latest effort by the Trump administration to expand third-country deportation agreements in Africa.
The move follows similar arrangements between Washington and several African countries, including the Democratic Republic of Congo, Ghana, Sierra Leone and Equatorial Guinea.
US Senate Democrats have criticised the agreements, saying they have cost tens of millions of dollars and allow the removal of migrants who had previously secured legal protections against deportation to their home countries.
