Guyana Takes Deportees from U.S. | Miami News

Guyana just became the latest country to accept U.S. deportees — six individuals from Afghanistan and Cuba arrived Friday under a new global agreement where over 30 nations are stepping in to take back non-citizens expelled from America. Part of Guyana’s “Assisted Voluntary Return Program,” these deportees will wait there while their immigration cases are processed, with no housing or support provided by the government. The UN migration agency oversees the initiative, which lasts one year and isn’t meant for resettlement. While Caribbean neighbors like St. Kitts, Belize, and St. Lucia are also participating, critics say it’s inhumane and potentially illegal — sending people back to danger. The U.S. defends it as a deterrent against illegal immigration, sparking fierce debate over ethics and effectiveness.
