A group of six migrants removed from the United States reportedly refused to get off a deportation flight after it landed in Liberia last week, triggering an unusual sequence of events that ended with the passengers being flown thousands of miles away to Equatorial Guinea.
The incident highlights the growing role of third-country deportation agreements as the Trump administration continues efforts to remove individuals who no longer have a legal right to remain in the United States.
According to reports from NBC News and The Associated Press, the group consisted of four Cuban men, a Brazilian man, and a woman from Cameroon.
