First group of 12 deportees from the US arrives in Uganda, lawyers say

Twelve people deported from the U.S. have arrived in Uganda, according to the Uganda Law Society. This is the first known group of arrivals since the U.S. and Uganda signed a bilateral deal. The law society criticized the deportation process as undignified and dehumanizing. The deportations are part of U.S. President Donald Trump's immigration crackdown, targeting illegal migrants and those with criminal records. The law society is seeking legal action against what it calls an "international illegality." Ugandan authorities said the agreement involves receiving African deportees without criminal records.
