Rwanda is currently in dialogue with the Trump administration regarding a potential agreement to accept deported migrants from the U.S., as stated by the country’s Foreign Minister Olivier Nduhungirehe. In an interview with Rwanda TV, he confirmed that initial discussions are taking place, although they have not yet progressed to a concrete plan. This development comes amid reports that the U.S. is actively seeking international partnerships to facilitate the deportation of migrants, a move that coincides with a broader crackdown on various categories of visa holders and suspected criminal elements.
Nduhungirehe noted that discussions are ongoing but remain in the early stages, indicating that there is no definitive outcome as of now. The Rwandan government’s comments were prompted by inquiries from NBC News, while the White House has been asked for further clarification on the matter.
President Trump has consistently emphasized the need for stringent immigration policies and has previously promised a significant deportation initiative, aimed at carrying out “the largest deportation operation” in U.S. history. Since taking office, his administration has deported numerous individuals to countries like El Salvador. However, ongoing legal challenges have raised questions regarding the legality of certain operations conducted by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), encompassing arrests, detentions, and removals.
As discussions progress, further developments can be expected regarding the specifics of any agreement and its implications for both Rwandan and U.S. immigration policies.
