Rwanda has confirmed the arrival of the first group of seven migrants from the United States as part of a new deportation agreement. This arrangement follows the Trump administration's efforts to send deportees to third countries.

• Seven vetted migrants arrived in Rwanda in mid-August. Three wish to return to their home countries, while four intend to stay in Rwanda.
• The Rwandan government, through spokesperson Yolande Makolo, announced the update, with visits from the International Organisation on Migration (IOM) and Rwandan social services confirmed.
• Rwanda agreed to accept up to 250 migrants from the U.S., with the ability to approve each individual, citing past experiences of displacement among its population.
