[edit]In February 2025, both countries agreed to receive deportation flights carrying migrants from China, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and other nations as part of U.S. President Donald Trump’s crackdown on undocumented immigration. Analysts suggest the agreements were influenced by political pressure and tariff threats from the USA. Costa Rica’s President Rodrigo Chaves described the move as assisting a "powerful northern ally," while Panama faced pressure over the Panama Canal. Deportees were temporarily detained in both countries before repatriation, though many feared returning to their countries of origin.[3]
