US Begins Deporting Migrants to Liberia Under Third-Country Agreement
The United States has begun deporting migrants to Liberia under a new agreement allowing up to 1,200 people to be sent to the West African country, even if they are not Liberian citizens. The first group of 20 deportees arrived near Monrovia, including individuals from various regions. Liberian officials say deportees may seek asylum or leave if they choose. This arrangement is part of a broader U.S. policy of third-country deportations involving multiple African nations, with limited public details on the agreements.
