Costa Rica has agreed to accept 200 citizens deported from the United States, including individuals from Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Pakistan, and India, reports Dunyo news agency.
According to Reuters, migrants arriving from the U.S. may be held in Costa Rica for up to six weeks before being sent back to their home countries. The deported individuals will be housed in a designated facility and will not be allowed to leave.
The first deportation flight carrying 135 illegal migrants, mostly from Asian countries, is expected to land in Costa Rica on February 20. Among these migrants, 65 are minors.
Uzbekistan’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson, Ahror Burkhanov, stated that Uzbekistan’s embassy in Washington and its Consulate General in New York have been closely cooperating with relevant U.S. law enforcement agencies for many years to ensure the safe deportation of Uzbek nationals to their homeland.
"As per our agreements, the American side promptly informs us about each case of our citizens' deportation. According to established procedures, our citizens return home via the New York–Tashkent route.
We are monitoring media reports regarding the possible deportation of Uzbek citizens to other countries. In this regard, our diplomatic missions have requested the U.S. authorities to provide information on any potential deportation of Uzbek nationals to third countries. Additionally, diplomatic contacts have been established with Latin American countries on this matter.
Our diplomatic missions provide comprehensive assistance to all Uzbek citizens, regardless of their location," the Foreign Ministry representative stated.
