Advocacy groups have filed a complaint on behalf of dozens of immigrants who were deported from the United States to Ghana and then returned to their countries of origin, despite their fears they could face torture or persecution. The complaint was filed with West Africa’s top human rights court, accusing Ghana’s government of complicity with the Trump administration in deporting the immigrants, some to the countries they had fled to and others left stranded in third countries to which they had no ties. The complaint involves 27 of at least 60 immigrants who’ve been deported to Ghana since September under Trump’s so-called third-country agreements.
