Migrants deported by US to Sierra Leone risk return to countries where they fear persecution
Migrants deported by the U.S. to Sierra Leone risk being sent back to their home countries where they face persecution, despite prior U.S. court orders blocking such deportations. The U.S. has third-country deportation agreements with Sierra Leone and other African nations, allowing the Trump administration to bypass asylum protections by indirectly forcing migrants to return to their countries of origin.
