Burundi agrees to take US deportees under third-country scheme
Original: Burundi agrees to receive ‘third-country’ migrant deportees from US https://www. theguardian.com/us-news/2026/s ep/30/bu
Burundi has agreed to accept migrants deported from the United States under the Trump administration's 'third-country' deportation policy, which sends people to countries other than their own. The reported agreement, covered by the Guardian, adds the East African nation to a growing list of states cooperating with Washington's tightened immigration enforcement, drawing attention to human rights concerns and the scale of US pressure on smaller countries.
Why now: The Trump administration is expanding its third-country deportation programme and Burundi's agreement is a new, notable development in US immigration policy.
