 West African deportees sue Ghana over US 'third-country' expulsions


Lawyers filed a suit against Ghana at West Africa's top human rights court on behalf of deportees sent there under the United States' third-country deportation policies, the legal team said Tuesday.


The lawsuit was filed on Monday at the ECOWAS Community Court of Justice in Abuja.


As part of a sweeping crackdown on immigration, US President Donald Trump has expanded the categories of people targeted for deportation, including those with legal protections.


In cases where Washington is barred from sending people home after US judges found they likely face torture or persecution, for example, it has sent deportees to "third countries" such as Ghana.


Ghana has then sent them home.


Facing persecution


"No person should be returned to a place where they face persecution, torture or serious threats to their dignity and safety," said Oliver Barker-Vormawor, senior partner at Ghanaian law firm Merton & Everett LLP.


The firm, along with Cornell Law School Transnational Disputes Clinic, in the United States, and the Global Strategic Litigation Council, a coalition of NGOs, filed the lawsuit Monday at the ECOWAS Community Court of Justice in Abuja.


The court is the top judicial body for the Economic Community of West African States, a regional bloc of 12 countries.


The lawsuit alleges Ghana is violating domestic and regional law by "facilitating removals to unsafe countries", a statement from the legal coalition said.


At least 60 people have been deported to Ghana since September, according to the lawyers, with 27 represented in the lawsuit.
