A senior official in the White House announced on Tuesday that the agreement on refugees between the US and Australia will be applied on the basis of extreme checking procedures.

The agreement was previously applied after being completed, during last year.

The law agreed on the transfer to the United States of 1,250 asylum seekers in Australia, currently imprisoned in refugee camps in Nauru and Manus Island in Papua New Guinea.

There have been questions about the compliance of this agreement after the executive order of the President Donald Trump.

His order forbids receiving the refugees in the US citizens and also the entering of citizens coming from seven Muslim states.

The Australian Prime Minister, Malcolm Turnbull, has announced the agreement with Washington last November, immediately after Donald Trump won the presidential election.

It seems that it followed a lobbying campaign from Australia to Trump’s senior advisers for the United States to comply with what they have previously agreed upon.

White House spokesman, Sean Spicer, said the agreement was closed by the administration of President Barack Obama, “with the full support of the US government”.

Also, checking every refugee coming over to the American country was stated in the agreement.

“The president, as it was agreed in the statement, confirmed that the verification will take place in the same manner as the regulations that are currently applied “, said Spicer.

Some refugees even came from the countries targeted by the order of Trump.

The Australian government has been domestically and internationally criticized for admitting to the two islands in the Pacific the asylum seekers intercepted at sea.

They are imprisoned for an unspecified period of time and have been forbidden for life to enter Australia.
