Costa Rican court orders government to free migrants who were deported by US

A court in Costa Rica has ordered authorities to release foreign migrants who were locked up in a shelter after being deported by the US, according to a resolution issued on the eve of a visit by the US secretary of homeland security.

About 200 people from Afghanistan, Iran, Russia as well as from Africa and some other Asian countries, including 80 children, were brought to the Central American nation in February under an agreement with the US administration of Donald Trump, a move criticized by human rights organizations.

By partially accepting an appeal filed in March on behalf of the migrants, the constitutional chamber of the supreme court of justice gave immigration 15 days to process the “determination of the immigration status of the deportees” and their release, according to the resolution seen by AFP.



The resolution was published one day before a visit by US secretary of homeland security Kristi Noem, who will meet with president Rodrigo Chaves and tour the Los Lagos temporary immigration detention center.
