The Locations of The 19 Migrants Sent to Ghana are Unknown
Concerns regarding the fate of migrants removed under the Trump administration’s contentious third-country deportation scheme were raised on Thursday when their attorney stated that 19 West African individuals deported from the United States to Ghana had been transported to unidentified places under armed guard.
After being moved in two distinct moves, the party, which first slept in a hotel after arriving in Ghana on November 5, has been totally unreachable. A portion of the group was bused to an unidentified border area over the weekend, according to attorney Ana Dionne-Lanier, while her client and others were transported “under heavy armed guard” on Wednesday.
We don’t know the spot of any of them,she said, adding that families have lost all communication with the deportees who are shielded from being sent back to their native countries because of the possibility of persecution and torture.
The disappearances take place in the backdrop of a mainly covert U.S. program that, since July, has dispatched dozens of deportees to at least five African countries, including South Sudan, Rwanda, and Eswatini.
The project has drawn harsh criticism from human rights experts, who have questioned whether immigrants are screened adequately before deportation and have pointed to infringement of international protections for asylum seekers.
