Rwanda Agrees to Accept 250 Deportees From US Under Third-Country Plan

Two other African nations have already accepted third-country deportees from the United States.

Rwanda has struck a deal to accept up to 250 deportees from the United States as part of a third-country deportation plan.

According to an Aug. 5 announcement from the Rwanda government, the nation will accept up to 250 deportees who are neither citizens of the United States nor of Rwanda.

Under the Trump administrationโ€™s third-country deportation program, 13 illegal immigrants have already been sent to the African nations of Sudan and Eswatini.

The administration previously deported hundreds of Venezuelans and others from countries without U.S. deportation agreements to Costa Rica, El Salvador, and Panama.

Rwanda, a nation in Central Africa with a population of approximately 15 million, entered into talks with the United States about third-country deportation in May of this year.

At the time, Rwandan Foreign Minister Olivier Nduhungirehe said on RwandaTV, a state-run broadcaster, that he couldnโ€™t say how the talks would end, but the conversation was ongoing.

A White House official told The Epoch Times that โ€œthe United States is constantly engaged in diplomatic conversations with foreign nations who are willing to assist us in removing the illegal aliens that Joe Biden allowed to infiltrate American communities.โ€

The Epoch Times has reached out to the office of the prime minister of Rwanda for comment. 

In 2022, Rwanda brokered a deal with then-British Prime Minister Boris Johnson to accept migrants seeking asylum in the UK. The deal allowed illegal immigrants in the UK to be relocated to the central African nation and, if their asylum claim was accepted, to stay there.

The United States has already sent a number of illegal immigrants to nations in Africa. Thus far, the Trump administration has sent eight men to South Sudan and an additional five men to Eswatini.

Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said the crimes of the deportees sent to Eswatini were โ€œso uniquely barbaric that their home countries refused to take them back.โ€

All those deported to South Sudan and Eswatini were described as dangerous criminals who were already convicted of crimes in the United States. The two African nations have not outlined their deportation deals with the United States.
