The Trump administration is deporting or planning to deport a group of migrants from Afghanistan, Iran and other countries to the Central African Republic, according to multiple reports. CBS News says a group of roughly 20 migrants is being sent to the Central African Republic, which it describes as one of the world’s poorest countries. Fox News and Japan Today both report that the administration’s actions involve a new “third-country” arrangement for Iranian asylum-seekers and other migrants, citing information attributed to reports and sources. The articles describe the destination as a country affected by chronic instability, including violence and poverty. While the reports characterize the plan and the deportations as involving Iranians in particular, they also indicate that other nationalities are included. The coverage aligns on the overall direction of the policy: relocating migrants from the United States to the Central African Republic, under an arrangement framed as a third-country process.
