布隆迪恩戈齐——布隆迪总统发言人周二表示，该国已同意接收被美国驱逐且此前与这个东非国家没有任何关联的人员。
NGOZI, Burundi — Burundi has agreed to accept people deported by the United States who have no previous connection to the East African country, a spokesperson for the country’s president said Tuesday.
南希·宁内特·穆托尼说，布隆迪只会接收未面临刑事起诉、且与恐怖主义无关的人员。她是在恩戈齐一场有政府官员出席的活动上作出上述表示的。
Nancy Ninette Mutoni said Burundi would accept only people who were not facing prosecution and had no links to terrorism. She spoke during an event attended by government officials in Ngozi.
穆托尼没有说明被驱逐者何时抵达，也没有透露布隆迪同意接收多少人。她表示，各方正做准备，以为被驱逐者提供住所，并帮助他们融入当地社区。
Mutoni did not say when the deportees would arrive or how many people Burundi had agreed to receive. She said preparations were underway to provide accommodations and help the deportees live in local communities.
穆托尼说：“接收他们需要周密规划——他们将住在哪里、吃什么，以及如何与当地居民共同生活。”
“Receiving them requires serious planning — where they will stay, what they will eat and how they will live alongside the local population,” Mutoni said.
特朗普政府扩大了作为移民严厉打击措施一部分的第三国遣返行动，将人员送往他们不是公民、且可能从未生活过的国家。美国已向多个非洲国家遣返人员，其中包括斯威士兰和南苏丹。
The Trump administration has expanded third-country deportations as part of its immigration crackdown, sending people to countries where they are not citizens and may never have lived. The United States has sent deportees to several African countries , including Eswatini and South Sudan.
美国上诉法院上周的一项裁决使该计划面临疑问。移民律师表示，一架原定载有约70人、从路易斯安那州飞往布隆迪、卢旺达和中非共和国的航班被取消。
A U.S. appeals court ruling last week threw the program into question . Lawyers for immigrants said a flight carrying about 70 people had been scheduled to travel from Louisiana to Burundi, Rwanda and the Central African Republic but was canceled.
该裁决没有禁止第三国遣返，但规定面临遣返的人员必须获得有意义的机会，就可能遭受迫害或酷刑等问题提出申诉。特朗普政府则为这项政策辩护，称当被驱逐者的原籍国拒绝接收他们时，该政策是必要的。
The ruling did not prohibit third-country deportations but required that people facing removal have a meaningful opportunity to raise concerns about possible persecution or torture. The Trump administration has defended the policy as necessary when deportees’ home countries refuse to accept them.
