Guyana Becomes Latest Third Country To Host U.S. Deportees
Guyana received six migrants deported from the United States on Friday, Sept. 4, 2026, under a one-year agreement to host non-citizen U.S. deportees.[1]
The six were nationals of Cuba and Afghanistan.[1] They arrived as part of an Assisted Voluntary Return Program run by the U.N. International Organization for Migration in coordination with the one-year U.S. agreement.[1]
The one-year agreement was signed to allow the IOM program to place and assist non-citizen deportees in Guyana under terms agreed with the United States.[1]
The deal makes Guyana the latest country to accept non-citizen deportees under U.S. "third country" arrangements.[1] Guyana joins more than 30 other countries, including several Caribbean Community members, that have agreed to similar arrangements.[1]
