Ameen, an Iraqi man who had lived in the U.S. since 2014 on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/analysis-bidens-immigration-policies-may-fuel-migrant-caravan-crisis-at-southern-border\/\" title=\"Analysis: Biden\u2019s immigration policies may fuel migrant caravan crisis at southern border\">refugee status<\/a>, was deported following a cable from the U.S. Embassy in Kigali that confirmed Rwanda&#8217;s acceptance of U.S. deportees. Under this arrangement, rwanda is designated as a &#8220;Third Party Nation&#8221; for immigrants who cannot be sent back to their home countries.<\/p>\n<p>Ameen fled Iraq amid charges of involvement in an ISIS-related murder plot and was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/incoming-leftist-coalition-government-in-germany-to-open-doors-to-mass-chain-migration\/\" title=\"Incoming Leftist Coalition Government in Germany to Open Doors to Mass Chain Migration\">granted refugee status<\/a> in the U.S. However, he faced past legal challenges including attempts to extradite him to Iraq during the Trump management. He had been detained by the immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) due to undisclosed ties to terrorism in his refugee request.<\/p>\n<p>The U.S. reportedly paid Rwanda a one-time fee to facilitate this new deportation initiative, wich aims to reinforce U.S.-Rwanda relations and the &#8220;America First&#8221; agenda. Although Ameen is the first deportee under this agreement, there are plans for at least ten more immigrants to follow. As of the article&#8217;s writing, both the U.S. State Department and the Rwandan government had not commented on Ameen\u2019s case.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>An Iraqi man was the first immigrant the U.S. deported to Rwanda in a new supposed Trump administration arrangement.<\/p>\n<p>The U.S. deported Omar Abdulsattar Ameen earlier this month, after he lived in the U.S. since at least 2014, when he was granted refugee status, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/world\/us-deports-iraqi-man-centre-debate-refugee-policy-2025-04-24\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Reuters<\/a> reported Thursday.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thehandbasket.co\/p\/us-rwanda-relocates-iraqi-refugee-omar-ameen\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Handbasket<\/a>, an <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\">independent news outlet<\/a>, broke the story after publishing a U.S. State Department cable detailing the new deportation program.<\/p>\n<p>Under the supposed agreement, Rwanda would serve as a &ldquo;Third Party Nation&rdquo;

Omar Abdulsattar Ameen was sent back earlier this month after residing in the U.S. since at least 2014, when he received refugee status, according to a report by Reuters on Thursday. The Handbasket, an independent news source, revealed this development following the publication of a U.S. State Department cable outlining the new deportation program. Under this agreement, Rwanda is designated as a &#8220;Third Party Nation&#8221; for immigrants that cannot be returned to their home countries by the U.S. Ameen&#8217;s deportation marks the beginning of this initiative, with at least ten more immigrants expected to follow suit, as reported by The Handbasket.<\/p>\n<p>In March, a cable from the American Embassy in Kigali indicated that Rwanda was prepared to accept deportees from America. A subsequent cable confirmed Ameen&#8217;s successful removal from the country. According to one embassy communication, &#8220;Rwanda\u2019s primary motivation for accepting Mr. Ameen and other Third Country Nationals is to enhance relations with the U.S.&#8221; The report also mentioned that Rwanda received a one-time payment of $100,000 from the U.S. for social services and residency documentation.<\/p>\n<p>Ameen had been living in Sacramento after being granted refugee status due to charges in Iraq related to an ISIS plot involving police murder accusations against him in 2014. In 2018, he was detained under Trump&#8217;s administration while attempts were made for his extradition back to Iraq; however, a federal judge deemed those charges &#8220;not plausible&#8221; and ordered his release in 2021 during Biden&#8217;s presidency\u2014though he was later detained again by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Reports suggest that Ameen did not disclose his ties with terrorist organizations on his refugee application and has remained detained since then.<\/p>\n<p>The State Department has not commented on Ameen\u2019s situation; neither has DHS nor representatives from Rwanda responded regarding inquiries about it<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2427886,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Picture-2025-04-26T161729.799.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2427885","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Picture-2025-04-26T161729.799.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2427885","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2427885"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2427885\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2427889,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2427885\/revisions\/2427889"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2427886"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2427885"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2427885"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2427885"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
