A U.S. lawyer says around 15 people deported from the United States landed in Congo’s capital Kinshasa in the early hours of Friday.
It was the latest example of the Trump administration using agreements with African countries to accelerate migrant removals.
Attorney Alma David represents the group and says the deportees are all from Latin America.
The Congolese government plans for them to remain in the country for a short period of time.
David says all the deportees received legal protection from U.S. judges shielding them against being returned to their home countries.
