Advocacy groups have filed a complaint with the Community Court of Justice of the Economic Community of West African States on behalf of 27 people who were deported from the United States to Ghana by the Trump administration.
Deportation Details
The deportees claim they were granted protections in the U.S. but were removed within hours or days of their arrival in Ghana, with some being stranded in third countries. The complaint aims to force Ghana to disclose the terms of its deal with the Trump administration and block the country from accepting any future deportees under the arrangement.
The groups are seeking at least $100,000 in compensation for each deportee from Ghana, along with other reparations. The complaint is part of a broader effort to discourage other West African countries from entering into similar deals with the Trump administration.
