U.S. Deports Nine Migrants in Secret, Ignoring Legal Protections

[BlueWaveNeverEnd]

Most had court orders protecting them from removal to their home countries, so they were sent to detention in Cameroon.

In a secret deportation arrangement, the Trump administration flew nine people, nearly all of whom had been granted U.S. court protections from being sent back to their home countries, to the African nation of Cameroon in January.

None of them are from Cameroon, according to government documents obtained by The New York Times and lawyers for the deportees, and the United States has not made any public deal with Cameroon to accept deportees who hail from other nations.

Several of the men and women deported — whose cases have not been previously reported — told The Times they did not know they were being sent to Cameroon until they were handcuffed and chained on a Department of Homeland Security flight leaving Alexandria, La., on Jan. 14.

Cameroon’s Ministry of External Affairs declined to comment when reached by phone, and the State Department said it would not comment on its “diplomatic communications with other governments” when asked about the terms of an agreement.


They highlight the extraordinary secrecy that surrounds President Trump’s global deportation effort.

2. Who is responsible for the flight to just drop off people a half a world away? What carrier, pilots?

What department signs the contract and whose signature is on the payment? How are these people supposed to survive and how do we get them back?
