US EditionUS judge questions deportation of West African migrants to Ghana
U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan demands details on preventing Ghana from relocating deported West African migrants to countries where they risk persecution, citing court order violations.
- On Saturday, U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan said the Trump administration appeared to deport five African immigrants first to Ghana to bypass court orders.
- This action followed a Supreme Court ruling allowing the administration to send immigrants to countries other than their origins even without addressing torture fears.
- One plaintiff was deported from Ghana to Gambia despite U.S. courts forbidding this, while Kilmar Abrego Garcia was mistakenly deported to El Salvador then returned to the U.S.
- Chutkan characterized the deportations to Ghana as a deliberate attempt to circumvent legal responsibilities and instructed the government to submit, by 9 p.m. Eastern time, a detailed account of the measures in place to prevent wrongful relocations.
- The events suggest ongoing legal challenges and uncertainties around deportations to third countries and how the U.S. government ensures compliance with court rulings.
