Argentina could soon welcome immigrants from other countries deported by the U.S.
According to The New York Times, the United States and Buenos Aires are in advanced discussions to finalize an agreement that would allow the Trump administration to send immigrants to the South American nation.
The idea would be for Argentina to welcome immigrants so that they can then be allowed to return to their countries of origin, the information specifies.
It would be a solution to repatriate citizens from countries where deportation is difficult, either due to a lack of diplomatic relations or because it is impossible for them to obtain travel documents.
For Argentine President Javier Milei, despite the opposition the measure may generate in his country, it would be an opportunity to further strengthen ties with Washington.
This week, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced an increase in the financial incentive for migrants who choose to voluntarily leave the United States.
From now on, those who participate in the CBP Home program will receive a stipend of $2,600, in addition to a free flight to their country of origin.
The measure, presented as a “gift” for the first anniversary of Donald Trump's new term, aims to reduce deportation costs and expedite voluntary departures.
According to Secretary of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem, more than 2.2 million people have self-deported since January 2025, and "tens of thousands" have used the CBP Home app.
