Uganda has reached a temporary agreement with the United States to accept deported adult migrants who do not have criminal records and are not unaccompanied minors. This deal makes Uganda the latest African country to participate in the U.S. policy of "third country" deportations, joining others such as Eswatini, South Sudan, and Rwanda. The Ugandan foreign ministry has not disclosed whether the country will receive any financial compensation or other benefits under the agreement, nor has it specified the number of deportees it will accept. The arrangement has drawn scrutiny from Ugandan opposition figures who have raised questions about the deal. The U.S. government, under President Donald Trump's administration, has been actively pursuing such agreements with African nations, although the full terms and implications for the involved countries remain unclear.
