The Trump administration secured deportation agreements with Honduras and Uganda, according to internal government documents.
The arrangements aim to expand U.S. deportation capabilities by enabling the transfer of individuals who may not be nationals of the receiving countries but have passed through them or have other ties.
Negotiations were led by the State Department, focusing on establishing frameworks that align with international legal standards.
Though specific terms remain undisclosed, the documents indicate that provisions for humane treatment and legal safeguards were central to the discussions.
Officials involved in the agreements emphasized the role of international partnerships in addressing irregular migration and enforcing border control measures.
They framed the initiative as necessary to manage rising migration volumes and improve the efficiency of the deportation process.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is expected to oversee the logistics and implementation once the agreements are in effect. The arrangements are part of a larger strategy to deter unauthorized border crossings by reinforcing the consequences of illegal entry.
