US deports 9 to Cameroon despite court protections, NYT says

Most of the nine deported migrants had U.S. court protections but were secretly sent to Cameroon, where they remain detained with no asylum support, lawyers and officials say.

  • Nine people were secretly deported from the US to Cameroon, despite some having court protections against deportation and none being from that country.
  • Several deportees did not know their destination until being placed on a Department of Homeland Security flight in handcuffs and chains.
  • The deportees, including some who fled persecution, are being held in a compound in Yaoundé and told they cannot leave unless agreeing to return to their home countries.
