The Central African Republic (CAR) has reached an agreement to accept migrants deported by the United States, as reported by Reuters. This deal is part of the US administration's strategy to expand third-country deportation agreements with African nations. The arrangement was discussed during a meeting on May 18, 2023, in Bangui, led by US Deputy Assistant Secretary Christian Jové Ehrhardt. While the exact number of migrants and their nationalities remain undisclosed, the CAR's government indicated that it would receive these deportees under bilateral agreements. The country, which has faced significant economic and security challenges, is expected to receive support from the International Organization for Migration (IOM), which has been allocated $85 million by the US for operations in the CAR. Critics have raised concerns that this policy may undermine legal protections for migrants previously granted by US courts, as evidenced by a recent court ruling that temporarily halted the deportation of a Turkish national to the CAR. The US Department of Homeland Security maintains that all deportees receive due process under US law, while the CAR government has not commented on the agreement.
