Summary

A Colombian deported from the United States under the Trump administration's "third country" deportation policy arrived in Liberia, a West African nation he had never heard of before his arrival. The policy involves sending migrants to countries other than their home or destination nations. Journalist Camilo Montoya-Galvez traveled to Liberia to document and report on these deportees' experiences.

Why this leaning score
The model judged this article politically coded and scored it +0.35, but all 1 of its quote(s) are attributed speech - words the article quotes from someone, not the article's own narration, so the score is not published.
Written under an earlier scoring contract, which gave a paragraph rather than checkable quotes. Re-analysing this article replaces it.
