The Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) has confirmed it will receive deported migrants from the United States under a third-country migration agreement introduced by the administration of President Donald Trump.
In a statement, the Congolese Ministry of Communications said arrivals are expected in April 2026, describing the arrangement as “temporary” and aligned with commitments to human dignity and international solidarity. The government added that all logistical costs will be covered by the U.S.
The policy forms part of broader U.S. migration measures involving multiple African states.
• The US has reportedly spent over $40 million relocating around 300 migrants to third countries
• Similar agreements exist with Eswatini, South Sudan, and Equatorial Guinea
• Some cases involve migrants with legal protection orders preventing return to their home countries
The DRC said each case will undergo individual legal review in line with national law and security requirements.
