The United States and Rwanda have agreed that the African country potentially accepts hundreds of Migrants were expelled from the United States, The Rwandan government spokesman and a manager in Reuters, such as President Donald Trump’s administration, adopts a hard approach to immigration.
The agreement, under which Rwanda Would accept up to 250 migrants, was signed by American and Rwandan officials in Kigali in June, said the Rwandan official, speaking on condition of anonymity, adding that Washington had already sent an initial list of 10 people to check.
“Rwanda has agreed with the United States to accept up to 250 migrants, in part because almost all Rwandan families have experienced the difficulties of travel, and our societal values are based on reinstatement and rehabilitation,” said the Rwandan government spokesperson Yolande Makolo.
“Under the agreement, Rwanda has the opportunity to approve each individual proposed for resettlement. Approved people will receive training, health care and support for accommodation to relaunch their lives in Rwanda, which gives them the opportunity to contribute to one of the fastest growth savings in the world in the past decade. “
THE White House And the State Department had no immediate comments. The Ministry of Internal Security referred questions to the State Department.
President Donald Trump aims to expel millions of immigrants In the United States, illegally and its administration sought to increase the moves to third countries, including the sending of criminals sentenced to South Sudan and Eswatini, formerly known as Swaziland.
Rwanda has positioned itself in recent years as a country of destination for migrants that Western countries wish to withdraw, despite the concerns of the rights defense groups that Kigali does not respect some of the most fundamental human rights.
In May, the Minister of Foreign Affairs said that Rwanda was in the early talks to receive expelled immigrants from the United States.
The Trump administration argues that the deportations of the third country quickly help to withdraw certain migrants, including those with criminal convictions. Immigration restaurants see the moves of the third country as a means of treating offenders who cannot be easily expelled and could constitute a threat to the public.
Opponents criticized deportations as dangerous and cruel, because people could be sent to countries where they could face violence, have no links and do not speak the language.
The Trump administration has pressed countries to take migrants. He expelled more than 200 Venezuelans accused of being Gangs members in Salvador in March, where they were imprisoned until they were released in an exchange of prisoners last month.
In June, the Supreme Court allowed the Trump administration to deport migrants to third countries without giving them a chance to show that they could be injured. But the legality of the moves is challenged in a federal trial in Boston, a case which could potentially go back to the high conservative court.
Rwanda has signed an agreement with Great Britain In 2022 to conclude thousands of asylum seekers, an agreement which was abandoned last year by the newly elected Prime Minister Keir Starmer. No one was sent to Rwanda under the plan due to years of judicial disputes.
