The United States to Expel Up to 1,200 People to Liberia Within a Year
Liberia will accept foreign nationals expelled from the U.S. under a program initiated by the Trump administration.
The United States plans to expel up to 1,200 people to Liberia over the next year. This decision is part of an expulsion program targeting undocumented immigrants, implemented during Donald Trump's presidency.
The Liberian government announced on August 18 that it would accept these expulsions, which include individuals who had previously benefited from legal protections. These protections allowed some to live and work in the United States due to risks of persecution in their home countries.
Washington has mentioned the intent to expel a Salvadoran immigrant who has become a symbol of American expulsion policies. This development marks an escalation of the U.S. government's efforts in the realm of expulsions.
