Fourteen West African migrants, deported from the US to Ghana, have been sent to their home countries. A lawsuit was filed alleging the US violated its own immigration laws by using Ghana as a transit point, bypassing legal protections for those facing persecution. The US government claims it acted within its rights, while lawyers representing the migrants call it a "scam" to circumvent legal processes. Ghana denies receiving financial compensation and states it acted out of humanitarian concern for fellow West Africans. The situation highlights the Trump administration's controversial use of third countries to deport migrants.
