USA: Trump sends first group of deported migrants to Central African Republic

The Trump administration sent a first group of deported migrants (from Iran, Afghanistan, Turkey and Georgia) to the Central African Republic. The plane arrived in Bangui on June 12, 2026 after a stopover in Ghana. Lawyers express concerns about the fate of these migrants, particularly the risk of subsequent deportation to their countries of origin. The practice of deporting to third countries faces legal challenges.
