In a significant development regarding international migration policies, Uganda has reached an agreement with the United States to accept deported migrants. However, the Ugandan government has stipulated that they will only take in individuals who do not have criminal records. This deal aligns Uganda with a broader deportation strategy being implemented by the Trump administration, which includes similar arrangements with Honduras. Despite earlier denials from Ugandan officials about the nature of these agreements, the latest confirmations indicate that Uganda is willing to become a third-country destination for some failed asylum seekers deported from the US. This arrangement has sparked discussions and divisions within Africa regarding the response to US-led migrant relocation plans.
