U.S. Deporting Asylum Seekers to Sierra Leone

The U.S. is sending asylum seekers to Sierra Leone under a controversial third-country deportation program, despite many being from nations where they face real danger. With help from a U.S.-funded contractor, Sierra Leone treats the country as a temporary transit hub, promising swift returns — but with no guarantee of safety or legal recourse. The program, capped at 25 deportees monthly, bypasses U.S. protections, leaving individuals with court-ordered stays in limbo. Human rights groups are sounding the alarm as the U.S. effectively outsources its deportation responsibility, abandoning migrants once they cross the border.
