The Trump administration deports about 20 migrants to the Central African Republic, according to multiple reports. CBS News, citing a U.S. official, says the deported group includes people from Afghanistan and Iran and was sent on Friday to the Central African Republic, described by CBS as one of the world’s poorest countries. Fox News and Japan Today report that the administration is using or advancing an approach that would send some Iranian asylum-seekers and other migrants to the Central African Republic under a “third-country” arrangement, citing sources. Japan Today characterizes the destination as chronically unstable and affected by violence and poverty. The accounts agree on the basic elements: the U.S. is deporting migrants, including Afghans and Iranians, and is sending them to the Central African Republic. The reports do not provide further details on the migrants’ cases, the legal rationale, or the precise terms of any third-country deal beyond the destination and the approximate group size.
