A first group of 15 migrants expelled from the United States landed overnight at Ndjili International Airport in Kinshasa, the capital of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), marking the first arrival under a migration agreement signed between Congolese authorities and the Trump administration on 5 April. The group — comprising seven women and eight men reported to be of Peruvian, Colombian, and Ecuadorian nationality — flew via Accra, Ghana, and is to be received by the International Organization for Migration (IOM), which maintains an office in Kinshasa. Under the undisclosed accord, the DRC is expected to receive between 50 and 100 US-expelled migrants per month, with all costs covered by Washington; Congolese officials stress the individuals are not intended to remain in the country permanently but will eventually be repatriated to their countries of origin.
