The Central African Republic (CAR) reportedly agreed to accept migrants deported by the United States from other countries, according to two sources familiar with the matter. The deal was discussed during a May 18 meeting in Bangui with a U.S. State Department delegation.

Authorities have not disclosed how many migrants could be sent under the deal, what their nationalities are or when deportation flights might begin. A U.S. judge temporarily blocked the deportation of a Turkish national to CAR in May after learning officials planned to carry out the transfer.

The International Organization for Migration (IOM) confirmed it would assist deportees arriving in CAR. The U.S. has allocated $85 million to the agency's operations there this year, as the country of about 5.5 million people continues to face chronic political instability.

Rights lawyers have filed a case with the African Commission on Human and Peoples' Rights on behalf of 14 migrants deported from the U.S. to Equatorial Guinea, accusing authorities of illegally returning them to their home countries. The complaint seeks to halt further repatriations and secure access to legal counsel.

A U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee report found that third-country deportations of about 300 people had likely cost taxpayers more than $40 million by January 2026, with some transfers exceeding $1 million per migrant. The report also said the deals face little public or congressional scrutiny.

The Trump administration's third-country deportation deals are a smart, effective way to remove dangerous criminals who cannot be sent directly home. Countries like the Central African Republic, Congo and Eswatini are stepping up to hold serious offenders while repatriation is arranged. The U.S. Supreme Court has already cleared the legal path, leaving little reason to delay a policy designed to protect public safety and prevent high-risk offenders from remaining in the country.

Pro-Trump narrative

These secretive deportation deals cost taxpayers over $40 million and ship people — including asylum seekers — to countries where they face torture, with zero congressional oversight. African nations are signing on only under the Trump administration's economic pressure, not genuine agreement, which degrades democracy across the continent. Sending deportees to places they have no ties, where they don't speak the language, isn't border security — it's outsourced cruelty.

Anti-Trump narrative

There is an 18% chance that the U.S. will establish a government program rewarding information leading to deportations before Jan. 3, 2027, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
