"Togolese Border: Deportees Dropped Without Documents, Left to Fend for Themselves"

West Africans Deported from US to Ghana Left Stranded in Togo Without Documents A group of West African nationals deported from the United States to Ghana has been forcibly transferred to neighboring Togo, leaving them stranded and vulnerable without documentation or support. According to lawyers representing the deportees, men who were removed from the US by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) claim they were denied their rights and left on the streets in Togo with no passports or identification. The deportees, who had been held near Accra, Ghana's capital city, before being transferred to Togo, are now fending for themselves in a foreign country. The development raises concerns about the treatment of migrants and refugees under the Trump administration's deportation program. "This is a clear example of how the US government is disregarding the rights of its deportees," said a lawyer representing some of the men. "They were denied their right to due process, and now they are left without any support or documentation in a foreign country." The deportees, who were transferred from Ghana to Togo without warning, say they were dropped off at the border crossing near Lomé, Togo's capital city, with no assistance or guidance. "We were just left on the side of the road," said one deportee. "No one helped us, and we had to figure out how to get by ourselves." The transfer from Ghana to Togo is believed to have occurred in recent weeks, although exact dates are unclear. The US government has not commented on the matter, but human rights groups have expressed concern about the treatment of migrants and refugees under the Trump administration's deportation program. "This is a classic example of how the US government is outsourcing its responsibility for deportees," said a spokesperson for Human Rights Watch. "By transferring them to another country without documentation or support, they are leaving them vulnerable to exploitation and abuse." The situation has highlighted concerns about the treatment of migrants and refugees under the Trump administration's deportation program. In recent years, there have been numerous reports of deportees being denied their rights and left stranded in foreign countries. As the situation continues to unfold, human rights groups and lawyers representing the deportees are calling for greater accountability from the US government. "We demand that the US government take responsibility for its deportees and ensure they receive the support and documentation they need," said a lawyer representing some of the men. The fate of the deportees remains uncertain as they struggle to survive in a foreign country without documentation or support. As one deportee put it, "We are just trying to make our way in a new country with no help from anyone." This story was compiled from reports by The Guardian and The Guardian.
