Story summary

Moussa Diawara, a father from Texas originally from Mali, was deported by ICE to Ghana in the summer of 2026, despite a judge ruling that it would be unsafe for him to return to Mali due to potential persecution. Within days of arriving in Ghana, local officials forced Diawara onto a flight to Mali, which U.S. immigration judges had previously determined was likely to result in his persecution. This case highlights the complexities and unintended consequences of third-country deportations under President Trump's administration, which aims to carry out what would be the largest deportation effort in U.S. history.
