The Trump administration has reached an agreement with the Pacific island nation of Palau to accept dozens of third-country deportees who cannot be returned to their home countries.

Palau, a sparsely populated island chain of roughly 18,000 people and a former filming location for the reality show Survivor, has agreed to take up to 75 non-criminal deportees from the United States.

The deal includes a $7.5 million U.S. grant to improve their public services.
