Expect Australia's Unwanted Refugees in October
By Nayla Rush on July 21, 2017
The latest development in the Australia-U.S. refugee deal is the unexpected departure of DHS interviewers from Nauru on July 14, two weeks ahead of their scheduled departure. (Nauru is where one of Australia's two offshore detention centers is located.) US Citizenship and Immigration Services did not elaborate on this change in schedule but did state they were planning return trips to the island to resume their screening interviews with refugees, in preparation for their resettlement in the U.S.
This comes following the U.S. government announcement on July 13 that the 50,000 refugee-cap for FY 2017 had been reached.
