| Resumen: |
Between January 20, 2025, and August 5, 2026, the United States expelled more than 500 people to countries in Africa that were not their countries of origin, according to ICE deportation data. People sent to Eswatini, Ghana, and South Sudan were arbitrarily detained in those countries and faced ill-treatment while in detention. Cameroon, Equatorial Guinea, and Ghana sent some people onward to risk of persecution or torture in their home countries, violating the principle of nonrefoulement. In all receiving countries, many—if not most—people transferred by the United States have been left with no practical option but to return to their home countries regardless of the harms they face there. |
