Ghana has defended its decision to accept a limited number of third-country migrants deported from the United States, stressing it does not amount to endorsing the Trump administration’s immigration policies. President John Mahama confirmed that 14 migrants from Nigeria and Gambia had already arrived under the deal, which has sparked sharp debate both in Accra and Washington. In the US, a federal judge accused the administration of skirting immigration protections for vulnerable migrants, while opposition lawmakers in Ghana demanded parliamentary approval. The policy, part of Trump’s expanded deportation program to multiple nations, remains highly controversial and ethically disputed.
