    AP News reports that, according to a letter from Senator Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH) to Secretary of State Rubio, the Trump administration made a $7.5 million payment to the government of Equatorial Guinea in exchange for the country agreeing to accept third-country nationals from the United States. The payment allegedly used funding from the Migration and Refugee Assistance account and constitutes the first government-to-government transfer from that account. The letter also raises concerns about corruption, human trafficking, and human rights abuses in Equatorial Guinea.

    Third Country Deportation Watch provides detailed updates on this agreement.
