Overview

• State minister Henry Oryem Okello said Uganda has not reached any agreement with the United States and lacks the facilities to take in such migrants.
• CBS News reported, citing internal documents, that the White House had deals with Honduras and Uganda, a claim Uganda publicly disputes.
• Uganda hosts nearly 2 million refugees and asylum-seekers, a burden officials cite in rejecting the reported arrangement.
• The United States has already carried out third-country removals to South Sudan and Eswatini, including a July flight of five people to Eswatini.
• The Department of Homeland Security has justified third-country deportations in extreme cases, while rights advocates say the practice is unnecessarily cruel.
