The United Nations Human Rights Office has called on Ghana to halt the deportation of migrants sent from the United States, expressing concerns over the potential for torture upon their return to their home countries. At least five migrants recently deported to Ghana had court-ordered protections that were meant to prevent them from being tortured if returned to their countries of origin.
Demonstrators in New York gathered on Thursday to protest the Trump administration’s aggressive deportation efforts. The rally highlighted growing concerns over the treatment of migrants and the humanitarian implications of such policies. The U.N. appeal underscores the increasing scrutiny on the U.S. and Ghana’s role in the deportation process.
