Australia agrees $408 million deal with Nauru to deport up to 80,000 visa detainees.

Australia has signed a $408 million deal with Nauru to deport former detainees without valid visas to the Pacific nation. Nauru will grant long-term visas to these individuals, allowing Australia to bypass a High Court ruling against indefinite detention. The deal, criticized by refugee advocates as discriminatory and dangerous, involves annual payments of $70 million for resettlement and has sparked concerns over mass deportations affecting up to 80,000 people.
