Costa Rica has agreed to serve as a “bridge” to repatriate illegal immigrants in the US, including from India and Central Asia, according to an official release on Tuesday. The first group of 200 migrants will arrive at the Juan Santamaria International Airport on a commercial flight on Wednesday.

“Costa Rica will serve as a bridge for them to reach their countries of origin,” said a statement by Costa Rican President Rodrigo Chaves Robles’ office. The release did not say how many of them are from India. These immigrants will be transferred to a temporary migrant care facility in the Central American nation before repatriation to their countries of origin.
