**Title:** 15 Deportees from U.S. Stranded in War-Torn Congo with No Ties or Escape Route Fifteen South American migrants and asylum seekers deported from the United States are now stranded in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), a country engulfed in armed conflict where they have no family, connections, or safe places to go [135170]. U.S. authorities sent the group to the DRC, where ongoing violence makes daily life dangerous. The deportees describe living in constant fear, unable to find housing, work, or aid because they have no local contacts [135170]. “We don’t know what will happen to us,” one deportee said, highlighting their precarious situation [135170]. The case illustrates the severe risks faced by individuals removed by the United States to countries where they lack any support network and where active conflict rages [135170].
