At least six of the eleven West Africans deported from the US to Ghana have been transferred to Togo, according to their lawyers. The group was in the midst of legal proceedings against the Ghanaian government to halt their deportation due to safety concerns. While three of the deportees are Togolese, the nationalities of the others remain undisclosed. The lawyers have since withdrawn their case against Ghana, citing the deportations as a barrier to legal recourse. They are, however, pursuing a separate case alleging rights violations. The deportees were previously held in a US detention facility before being sent to Ghana under a military escort. Ghana's government, led by President John Mahama, accepted the deportees as part of a deal with the US, which has faced scrutiny from opposition MPs demanding transparency and legal ratification of the agreement. The US's hardline immigration policy has led to record deportations, often to countries where individuals have no ties.
