The U.S. Embassy in Uganda declined to comment on what it called 'diplomatic negotiations,' but said that diplomats were seeking to uphold President Trump's 'policy of keeping Americans safe.'

Internal government documents obtained by CBS News show the Trump administration has expanded its campaign to persuade countries around the world to aid its crackdown on illegal immigration by accepting deportations of migrants who are not their own citizens.

Uganda said it would accept some migrants deported from the US, but not those with criminal records. The Trump administration earlier deported migrants to the third countries of Eswatini and South Sudan.
