Ghana has become a focal point in the ongoing US immigration crackdown, as President John Mahama confirmed the country’s agreement to accept deportees from West Africa. This development has sparked significant controversy and legal challenges. At least six of the 11 West Africans deported to Ghana have already been transferred to Togo, according to their legal representatives. The group had initially filed a lawsuit against the Ghanaian government to halt further deportations, citing safety concerns. However, the case was withdrawn as events unfolded, though a separate legal action alleging human rights violations continues. Lead lawyer Oliver Barker-Vormawor expressed disappointment with Ghana’s justice system, arguing that the court failed to intervene to prevent the deportations. The deportees, who include nationals from Nigeria, Togo, Liberia, and The Gambia, were previously held in US detention facilities before being sent to Ghana on a US military plane. The agreement, announced by President Mahama, allows Ghana to accept nationals from various West African countries, citing the principle of free movement within the region. Ghana’s Foreign Affairs Minister, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, clarified that the country is not receiving financial compensation for this arrangement. Opposition MPs have called for the suspension of the US-Ghana agreement until it is legally ratified, demanding transparency and accountability. This situation is part of the broader US immigration policy under President Donald Trump, which has seen record-level deportations, often to countries where deportees have no ties.
