Uganda said on Thursday that it had reached a deal with the U.S. government to accept migrants deported from the United States, stipulating that those sent must not have criminal records or be unaccompanied minors.

The East African country will accept “third country nationals who may not be granted asylum in the United States but are reluctant to or may have concerns about returning to their countries of origin,” according to a statement released by its foreign ministry.

The statement said that Uganda preferred to accept deportees who had originated from African nations. It did not specify how many people Uganda would accept from the United States, calling the deal “a temporary arrangement.” It did not provide further details.

The foreign ministry did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Uganda joins a small but growing contingent of African countries that have made deals to accept migrants from the United States as the Trump administration seeks to expel tens of thousands of migrants in American custody.

This month, Rwanda agreed to accept 250 deportees from the United States and in July, the U.S. Supreme Court approved the deportation of eight men to South Sudan.

Eswatini, a tiny African country formerly known as Swaziland, has also accepted deportees from the United States, but said it planned to repatriate those people to their home countries.
