African Country Offers Help For Trump’s Deportation Agenda

The Rwandan government agreed to take in hundreds of migrants from the U.S. in a major win for President Donald Trump’s deportation agenda.

The small, landlocked country in Central Africa will accept up to 250 deportees from the U.S., a spokesperson for their government confirmed to multiple media outlets. The key agreement was reached as the Trump administration works to expand its third-country deportation program, creating more destinations for illegal migrants booted by U.S. 🛂Immigration officials.

“Rwanda has agreed with the United States to accept up to 250 migrants, in part because nearly every Rwandan family has experienced the hardships of displacement, and our societal values are founded on reintegration and rehabilitation,” Rwandan government spokesperson Yolande Makolo stated to Reuters.

“Under the agreement, Rwanda has the ability to approve each individual proposed for resettlement,” Makolo continued. “Those approved will be provided with workforce training, healthcare, and accommodation support to jumpstart their lives in Rwanda, giving them the opportunity to contribute to one of the fastest-growing economies in the world over the last decade.”

Neither the State Department nor the Rwandan government responded to requests for comment from the 🏢Daily Caller News Foundation.

The Rwandan government reportedly agreed to the deal to bolster relations with Washington, D.C.
