Burundi agrees to accept US third-country deportees from other nations
Sep 30, 2026
Burundi has agreed to accept migrants deported from the US who originate from other countries, joining several other African nations in similar deals. A spokesperson for Burundi's president said the country will only accept deportees not accused of crime or terrorism links, and is preparing housing and integration plans. Rights groups say these third-country deportation deals let the US bypass legal protections against repatriation that some deportees had secured in immigration courts.
