Judge Criticizes Deportations to Ghana, Citing Lack of Jurisdiction

A U.S. judge criticized the U.S. government for deporting five migrants to Ghana but said she couldn't intervene.

The judge felt the deportations aimed to bypass U.S. immigration courts.

Ghana agreed to accept the deportees.

The government said the migrants had due process and removal orders.

Some had U.S. legal protections, but Ghana intended to send them to Nigeria and Gambia.

One migrant, who is bisexual, was sent to Gambia and is in hiding.
