The last child refugees stuck in the Australian emigre camp on Nauru Island will be admitted to the United States, Australia has announced. It did not say what the children’s nationalities were, but the biggest block of people on Nauru are Iranians. The Obama Administration agreed to take up to 1,250 refugees from Nauru and Manus Island in Papua New Guinea. President Trump moved to kill that agreement, but eventually agreed to keep it. As of November, the United States had taken 430 of the more than 3,000 people on the islands.
