KINSHASA, Congo — <\/span>KINSHASA, Congo (AP) \u2014 Congo<\/a> will receive some migrants as part of a new deal under the Trump administration\u2019s third-country program, its government said Sunday, the latest such African nation<\/a> to receive migrants being deported from the U.S.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

It described the arrangement as a \u201ctemporary\u201d one that reflects Congo\u2019s \u201ccommitment to human dignity and international solidarity.\u201d It would come with zero costs to the government with the U.S. covering the needed logistics, it said.<\/p>\n

The U.S. has struck such third-country deportation deals with at least seven other African nations<\/a>, many of them among countries hit the most by the Trump administration\u2019s policies that have restricted trade, aid and migration.<\/p>\n

The Trump administration has spent at least $40 million to deport about 300 migrants to countries other than their own, according to a report released recently by the Democratic staff of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.<\/p>\n

Lawyers and activists have raised questions over the nature of the deals with countries in Africa and elsewhere. Several of the African nations that have signed such deals have notoriously repressive governments and poor human rights records \u2014 including Eswatini, South Sudan and Equatorial Guinea.<\/p>\n

A key bone of contention in many such agreements is that they involve many migrants with protection orders from a U.S. immigration judge not to be returned to their home countries over major safety concerns.<\/p>\n

Congo\u2019s government said no automatic transfer of the deportees is planned, adding: \u201cEach situation will be subject to individual review in accordance with the laws of the Republic and national security requirements.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
