7 US Deportees Land In Rwanda

The first batch of deportees from the United States of America have touched down in Rwanda.

The seven individuals’ arrival in Rwanda was made possible through a special deal between the governments of Rwanda and America.

According to a Rwandan government spokesperson, each case was vetted under the bilateral agreement, which allows Kigali to review and approve migrants before granting entry.

No information was provided about the identities of the deportees.

The government spokesperson Yolande Makolo says on Thursday, August 28, 2025 that they have been “accommodated by an international organisation”.

They are also being visited by the International Organization for Migration, as well as representatives of Rwanda’s social services.

In addition to accommodation, those approved for settlement in Rwanda will receive workforce training and health care, she said.

Makolo added that three of deportees say they want to return to their home countries, while the other four wish to stay and build lives in Rwanda.

Earlier in August, Kigali said it would accept up to 250 people to be expelled from the United States under President Donald Trump’s anti-immigrant agenda.

Rwanda is one of four African countries that have reached deportation agreements with Washington. The others are Uganda, Eswatini, and South Sudan.

Human rights experts have said the deportations may break international law by sending people to countries where they face the risk of torture, abduction, and other abuses.
