President Trump promised to carry out a campaign of mass deportation on Day One, how has this promise worked out? Deportations are difficult to track.
Trump, meanwhile, attacked Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy while speaking at his Mar-a-Lago home as U.S. officials hold talks with Russia about ending the war in Ukraine that started when Russian President Vladimir Putin invaded its neighbor. Zelenskyy was not invited to the talks with Russia.
During his campaign, Donald Trump promised to deport millions of illegal immigrants as part of his largest deportation operation in US history.
The number of illegal immigrants crossing from Mexico appeared to have slowed significantly since the new administration began.
Trump deported 37,660 migrants in his first month in office. Biden's monthly average was 57,000 for the last year.
During President Donald Trump’s first week in office, he signed 10 executive orders on immigration and issued a slew of edicts to carry out promises of mass deportations and border security. Some actions were felt immediately and others are being challenged in court.
Costa Rica is the third Central American country to agree to repatriate deported migrants from the US since Donald Trump took office. Panama and Guatemala had made a similar agreement when US Secretary of State Marco Rubio visited them in January.
The first group of US deportees will arrive in Costa Rica on Wednesday on a commercial plane from where they will be taken to a temporary migrant care center near the Panama border. Costa Rica clarified that the cost of the process will be borne entirely by the US government under the supervision of the International Organization for Migration.
