Deported immigrants left in limbo in Central African Republic

Original: In Central African Republic, deported immigrants find themselves in limbo https://www.npr.org/2026/10/09/nx-s1-5993805/t

NPR reports that immigrants deported to the Central African Republic under third-country deportation arrangements are stranded with few prospects. Those sent there, including people deported from the United States via Cuba, have no ties to the country, face uncertain legal status, and lack support, leaving them in a state of limbo as they cannot move on or return home.

Why now: Third-country deportations are a contentious US immigration policy under renewed scrutiny, and reports of deportees stranded in countries they have no connection to are drawing attention.
