"The Uganda Law Society condemned the arrivals, stating that the process has reduced the deported people to little more than chattel, for the benefit of private interests on both sides of the Atlantic."
"Yasmeen Hibrawi, a public affairs counsellor at the US embassy in Kampala, stated that all deportations are in full cooperation with the government of Uganda."
"Uganda said it had reached a deal with the US to take in people from third countries who might not get asylum in the US but were reluctant to be sent back to their home countries."
A flight carrying deported individuals from the US has landed in Uganda, marking the first under a recent agreement. The deportees will stay in Uganda temporarily before potential relocation. The Uganda Law Society condemned the process, describing it as dehumanizing. The US has previously deported individuals to other African nations. Uganda's government confirmed cooperation with the US, while legal challenges to the deportations are anticipated. The agreement stipulates that Uganda will not accept individuals with criminal records or unaccompanied minors.
