Analysis
Liberia's Role in Third Country Deportations
Liberia has become the latest country to accept deportees who are not its citizens as part of President Trump's crackdown on illegal immigration. The government of Liberia has said it intends to accept up to 1,200 third country deportees from the U.S. over the next year, and that the new arrivals will be allowed to apply for asylum there.
The move is part of a broader effort by the Trump administration to deport migrants to third countries where they have no ties. The administration has brokered third country deportation agreements with dozens of nations across the globe, including African countries plagued by armed conflict, political tumult and human rights abuses.
Human rights activists have denounced the third country deportations as inhumane and illegal under international law, saying some countries are returning deportees to places they fled because of persecution. But the Trump administration has defended the legality and merits of the deportations, portraying them as an effective way to deter illegal immigration.
The Impact on Migrants
The deportees who arrived in Liberia on Thursday include migrants from Latin America, who were deported from the U.S. after being detained at the border. The migrants were taken to a processing center in Liberia, where they will be allowed to apply for asylum.
The move has been criticized by human rights activists, who say that the third country deportations are a violation of international law. The activists argue that the deportations are a way for the Trump administration to avoid its obligations to protect the rights of migrants.
