7,000 miles away: Deported migrants from the US face a new destiny

The United States has included Liberia as a new destination for deported migrants under a bilateral agreement signed in September 2025. The arrangement allows up to 1,200 individuals from third countries who cannot return to their home nations due to risks like torture or persecution to be relocated to Liberia over the next year. The first group of 20 deportees arrived in Liberia on August 20, 2026, at the Roberts International Airport. These individuals were not convicted of crimes but had immigration violations, and they will have the option to stay in Liberia, seek asylum, or request other forms of protection. Liberia agreed not to repatriate them while their applications are being processed.
