Liberia Agrees to Take 1,200 Deportees From the United States
Liberia will receive U.S. support to manage the arrivals as part of a broader third-country deportation program, officials said.
- Liberia agreed on Tuesday to accept up to 1,200 third-country deportees from the United States over the coming year, with an initial group of 20 expected to arrive on Thursday.
- The Trump administration has struck several such third-country deportation deals with African countries as part of a broad policy involving people sent to nations that are not their own.
- Deportees will include citizens from African and Western Hemisphere countries, with many holding legal protection orders against repatriation due to risks of torture or other abuses.
- Information Minister Jerolinmek Piah said arrivals can "may wish to seek asylum" or "can leave the country whenever they desire," while Liberia receives United States support to manage the program.
- Rights groups and advocates say the agreements are opaque, and Piah did not confirm whether the incoming deportees possess protection orders against being returned home.
