Costa Rica joins a growing list of Latin American nations to serve as a stopover for migrants as Trump 's administration pushes for more deportations.

The flight from San Diego landed in San José, the Costa Rican capital, on Thursday evening. The group of migrants on board included dozens of children, officials said.

Costa Rica's government received its first group of mostly Asian migrants deported from the United States on Thursday, part of a deal with Washington to temporarily house up to 200 deportees from other nations.
