US Judge Questions Deportation of West African Migrants to Ghana

US Judge Questions Deportation of West African Migrants to Ghana

A judge is looking into the U.S. government's decision to send people from Nigeria and Gambia to Ghana.

These people had previously sought refuge in the United States.

The judge is worried that the government might have broken some rules when it made a deal with Ghana to take these people.

Some of the migrants claim they could be in danger if they go back home.

The judge has concerns because it appears the U.S. government knew that the migrants shouldn't be sent back to their home country.

Now, the judge is deciding what to do next.
