Ecuador is negotiating a deal with the U.S. to receive hundreds of U.S. deportees from third countries who have refugee status as long as they have not committed crimes and have no health issues, the South American country's foreign minister said.
"It will be a limited program that applies only to refugees of certain nationalities who have no criminal background and who meet certain conditions such as being in good health," Gabriela Sommerfeld said. She didn't give further details on the deal, but it is likely she will elaborate when Secretary of State Marco Rubio visits the country this week. Overall, the country could receive 300 migrants a year, according to AFP.
