The U.S. sent 20 deportees to Liberia as part of 1,200 migrants that the African country will receive under a new deal.
The 1,200 deportees will include African nationals and also nationals from North America, South America and the Caribbean, according to the Liberian information minister, Jerolinmek Piah.
The Liberia-US agreement is among the largest third-country deportations driven by the Trump administration’s crackdown on immigration, according to the Associated Press.
