Rwanda’s foreign ministry did not immediately respond Monday to a request for comment from Fox News Digital.
At a Cabinet meeting last week, Secretary of State Marco Rubio said, "We have gone to countries all over the world and said, ‘Hey, you want good relations with the United States, you need to take back your people that are here illegally.' And we've had historic cooperation. Beyond that, and I say this unapologetically, we are actively searching for other countries to take people from third countries.
"So we are actively – not just El Salvador – we are working with other countries to say, ‘We want to send you some of the most despicable human beings to your countries, will you do that as a favor to us?' And the further away from America the better, so they can’t come back across the border," Rubio added.
