US officials fingerprint refugees on Manus Island as part of US-Australia resettlement deal

Officials from the US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) are now on Manus Island fingerprinting and photographing refugees as part of the US-Australia refugee deal.

The officials are expected to spend three days on the island and plan to return to conduct further interviews at the end of this month.

Refugees who have expressed interest in moving to the United States have been provided with documents outlining the support that will be provided should they be accepted.
