FIRST TRANSFER: U.S. Sends 7 Migrants To Rwanda Under Third‑Country Deportation Deal

Rwanda says it received a first group of seven migrants from the United States in mid‑August under a new third‑country deportation arrangement, with Kigali prepared to take up to 250 people. The Trump administration is pursuing similar deals with other nations, including Uganda and Eswatini, drawing legal and human‑rights scrutiny. The move signals an operational shift toward outsourcing removals beyond migrants’ home countries.
