  "summary": "Jean Leonard Teganya, a 55-year-old Rwandan man convicted in 2019 of immigration fraud and perjury for lying about his involvement in the 1994 genocide, has been deported to Rwanda by the US state prosecutor. Teganya, a medical student and member of the Hutu-dominated ruling MRND party at the time, was sentenced to 97 months in prison after admitting to leading teams of soldiers and pro-government youth in the search and killing of Tutsi patients and refugees. He fled Rwanda during the genocide, eventually seeking asylum in Canada in 1999. In 2014, he fled Canada ahead of a deportation order and entered the United States, where he applied for asylum without disclosing his involvement in the genocide.",
