ICE sends Afghans and others to Africa, expanding "third country" deportations 31.08.2026

Yahoo

Over a 10-day period, the Trump administration deported more than 100 individuals from Afghanistan, Cuba, Nicaragua, Iran, Nepal, Turkey, and Venezuela to eight African countries — Burundi, Cameroon, the Central African Republic, Equatorial Guinea, Eswatini, Liberia, Rwanda, and Sierra Leone — none of which were their home nations. These "third country" deportation flights, documented in newly obtained ICE records, are part of a broader campaign involving over 30 countries globally. Many of these African nations, including the Central African Republic and Eswatini, face severe armed conflict, political turmoil, and human rights abuses, yet have agreed to accept deportees from other continents.
