Lawyers have filed a suit against Ghana at West Africa's top human rights court on behalf of deportees sent to the country under the United States' immigration
Lawyers have filed a suit against Ghana at West Africa's top human rights court on behalf of deportees sent to the country under the United States' immigration crackdown, the legal team said Tuesday.
The complaint is the latest legal challenge in an African court against US President Donald Trump's sweeping immigration clampdown under which he has deported people with legal protections.
In cases where Washington is barred from sending people home -- after US judges found they likely face torture or persecution, for example -- it has sent deportees to "third countries" such as Ghana.
Ghana has then sent them home -- or, as AFP has reported, dumped them in neighbouring Togo without documents.
