Rwanda in talks with US to take deported migrants

President Trump’s administration is reportedly eyeing Rwanda as a potential deportation destination for undocumented migrants from countries that won’t accept repatriates as officials carry out his sprawling immigration crackdown.
Olivier J.P. Nduhungirehe, the East African country’s foreign minister, told the Rwanda Broadcasting Agency on Sunday that the government is in early talks with the U.S. about the proposal but he didn’t provide details.
“It is true that we are in discussions with the United States,” he said. “These talks are still ongoing, and it would be premature to conclude how they will unfold.”
The New York Times reported that Nduhungirehe hasn’t said whether Rwanda would be seeking financial compensation in return.
