Liberia Accepts 1,200 Third-Country Deportees Under New U.S. Agreement
The bilateral deal allows for the transfer of foreign nationals over the next year. Under the new bilateral agreement, Liberia will receive third-country deportees the United States seeks to remove. This marks a shift for a nation that historically offered a home to Black Americans. Following the start of the program, six individuals refused to leave a U.S. flight in Liberia. These deportees were subsequently redirected to Equatorial Guinea after citing the terms of third-country deportation agreements.
