Original Date Announced
August 14, 2025Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced that the United States and Paraguay signed a safe third country agreement, which "provides asylum seekers currently in the United States the opportunity to pursue their protection claims in Paraguay." The policy objective of this agreement is to allow the two countries to "share the burden of managing illegal immigration while shutting down the abuse of [the U.S.] asylum system." The agreement forms part of a larger bilateral effort to "combat[] transnational crime, counter[] malign actors, and advanc[e] regional stability."
Third Country Deportation Watch provides detailed updates on this agreement.
