AI Summary:
Rwanda’s foreign minister confirms his country has entered discussions to receive immigrants deported from the United States less than a year after a similar plan with Britain fell through. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said he was searching for more countries to take in people as the administration of President Donald Trump steps up efforts to deport immigrants who entered the US without documents and other noncitizens. In March, the Trump administration deported an Iraqi national to Rwanda in a transfer that could serve as a model for the future. The efforts are in line with Trump’s crackdown on immigration. Trump has been facing legal battles as it tries to continue sending accused gang members to a maximum-security prison in El Salvador without due process. Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) has warned some people sent to Rwanda could be returned to countries from which they had fled. Rwanda denies the allegations and accuses the UNHCR of lying.
