Ghana Returns U.S. Deportees After Torture Lawsuit
Eleven West African nationals who were deported to Ghana by U.S. authorities have been sent to their home countries. The group was among other deportees who arrived in Ghana earlier this month as part of a deal reached with the U.S. government
The eleven deportees had previously filed a lawsuit to stay their deportation to their home countries, citing the possibility that they could face torture, persecution, or inhumane treatment. When their case came to court on Tuesday, however, their lawyer said they had already been removed, and the suit was therefore irrelevant.
