Lawsuit claims Costa Rica violated rights of deported children

A human rights group has filed a lawsuit against Costa Rica, alleging the nation violated the rights of 81 children deported from the United States. The suit claims the children were detained in a rural camp. The lawsuit, filed with the UN, asserts Costa Rica violated the Convention on the Rights of the Child by detaining the children for nearly two months. The children, part of a larger group of migrants, lacked access to legal, educational, and mental health services. The deportations, part of a broader effort by the Trump administration, involved migrants from various Asian countries. Critics have described the situation as the U.S. exporting its deportation process, with similar issues arising in Panama.
