US, Uganda Sign Deportation Pact for Citizens

US, Uganda Sign Deportation Pact for Citizens

The United States and Uganda have made a deal about deporting people.

Uganda will take back its citizens from the US, but only if they haven't broken any laws.

This helps the US by making it easier to send people back to Uganda who don't have permission to be in the US.

For Uganda, it means they can work with the US on immigration issues while also being careful about potentially taking back people who have done something wrong.

So, if you're from Uganda and are in the US without documents and haven't done anything illegal, you are more likely to be sent back.

If you have a criminal record, it might be more complicated for the US to deport you.
