Rwanda Agrees to Receive "Third Country" Immigrants Deported from the U.S.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rwanda has reached an agreement with the Trump administration to take in
immigrants deported from the United States. Rwanda is the third African
nation to agree to a similar deal, saying it will receive up to 250
deportees from the U.S., according to Reuters. The U.S. has already
deported over a dozen immigrants to South Sudan and Eswatini, formerly
known as Swaziland. Advocates have repeatedly warned of human rights and
due process violations as Trump intensifies his mass deportation
campaign.
