An African country has agreed to accept undocumented immigrants from the United States

The Democratic Republic of the Congo has agreed to accept foreigners deported from the United States as part of an agreement with the administration of President Donald Trump. 

This was reported by Reuters, citing an official statement from the Congolese government. The reception of deported individuals will begin as early as April 2026, with all costs associated with implementing the program fully covered by the U.S. side, thereby relieving the Congolese budget of the financial burden.

Appropriate facilities have already been prepared near the capital, Kinshasa, to house the arrivals, although the exact number of people the country will accept has not yet been specified. This agreement comes amid Congo’s efforts to enlist U.S. support to pressure Rwanda to comply with the terms of a peace agreement brokered by Washington. In addition, the cooperation includes U.S. investment in the extraction of strategically important minerals within the republic. Earlier, the U.S. also began deporting several dozen Russian citizens, sending the first flight to Moscow.

As a reminder, the U.S. has expelled another group of Russians from the country.

The U.S. has also deported over a hundred Chinese migrants from the country.
