The migrants from around the world did not know where they were or what would happen to them, according to an independent government entity.

A U.S. flight carrying 135 deportees, half of them minors, from various countries was set to land in Costa Rica, making it the second Latin American nation to serve as a stopover for migrants.

Migrants deported from the U.S. could be held in Costa Rica for up to six weeks before being sent to their home countries, Costa Rican President Rodrigo Chaves said on Wednesday.
