US finalize bilateral deportation deals with Honduras, Uganda

(MENAFN) The United States has finalized bilateral deportation deals with Honduras and Uganda as part of efforts to tighten immigration enforcement, according to documents obtained by reports.

Under the agreements, Uganda has consented to accept an unspecified number of African and Asian migrants who sought asylum at the US-Mexico border, while Honduras will take in several hundred deported individuals from Spanish-speaking countries.

The agreements are part of a broader strategy by the Trump administration to encourage more nations to accept migrants being deported who are not their citizens.

Human rights advocates have criticized the policy, warning that deported individuals could face danger in countries unfamiliar to them.

Uganda has agreed to receive migrants without criminal records, though the exact number it will accept remains unclear. Honduras has committed to accepting deportees over a two-year period, including families with children, with the possibility of taking additional individuals.

These agreements are components of a wider push by the US administration to establish deportation arrangements with multiple countries, some of which have contentious human rights histories. To date, at least a dozen nations have agreed to accept deported migrants from other countries.
