The state of Minas Gerais is set to inaugurate the first Reference Center for Human Rights specifically for repatriated individuals and migrants, located at the International Airport of Belo Horizonte, Confins. This initiative comes in response to the increasing number of deportations from the United States, with 491 Brazilian citizens already repatriated this year alone. The center aims to provide necessary support and services aimed at assisting those who have been deported, addressing their immediate needs upon return to Brazil.

In 2025, Brazil experienced its highest number of deportations in history, with 3,294 citizens returned to the country according to data from the Federal Police and the Ministry of Human Rights and Citizenship. The establishment of this center highlights the Brazilian government's commitment to addressing the circumstances faced by repatriated individuals and migrants who often find themselves in vulnerable situations. The center is expected to play a crucial role in facilitating the reintegration of returning citizens into society, offering assistance that ranges from psychological support to legal advice.

The Reference Center for Human Rights for Repatriated Citizens and Migrants (CREDH-RM) aims to respond to the dynamics of migration and provide a support network for those affected by deportation. As repatriated citizens often encounter challenges upon returning home, the center will serve as a proactive resource to alleviate some of these difficulties, enhancing the humanitarian response by providing tailored services to this specific demographic, contributing to better outcomes for returned citizens and their families.
