Why have Costa Rica and Panama agreed to take Asians deported by Trump?

Al Jazeera  

United States President Donald Trump‘s administration has deported thousands of undocumented immigrants since taking office last month, in a crackdown that critics argue is violating immigrants’ rights to due process. During his first month in office, the Trump administration has deported 37,660 people, according to data from the US Department of Homeland Security, often to their country of origin, but sometimes to third countries. Golash-Boza told Al Jazeera that once the migrants leave US soil, “they lose access to any semblance of rights they may have had due to their presence in the US.” Mittelstadt explained that deportees sent to third countries do not have protections under US law. When it comes to deportees from countries that the US does not have strong formal diplomatic ties with, these Central American nations serve another purpose for the Trump administration. ICE has previously cited countries including India, Pakistan and China as “uncooperative”, but Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi said he is “fully prepared” to take back undocumented immigrants, during a White House visit in February.
