"At least 11 of the 14 immigrants deported by the U.S. to Ghana are still being held in the West African nation, the deportees and their lawyers told The Associated Press on Wednesday, contradicting claims from Ghanaian authorities that the deportees have been sent to their home countries. Three of the deportees spoke to AP of the "terrible" conditions under which they are being held at the Bundase military camp on the outskirts of the capital, Accra. They said the 11 deportees still in Ghana include four Nigerians, three Togolese, two Malians and one each from Gambia and Liberia. ... The confusion surrounding the deportations reflects the dizzying pace at which the Trump administration has moved ahead with its immigration priorities, which lawyers say has come at the cost of immigrants’ legal rights and sometimes puts their safety at risk. In interviews with AP, the deportees said they were not told by U.S. authorities why they were being deported. They said some of them had already spent between seven months to a year in U.S. detention and that some had won their immigration cases. The AP could not independently verify their court records. They also narrated a brutal deportation process during which some of them were handcuffed and put in a straitjacket on their flight to Ghana. 'Some of us are getting sick and have malaria due to bad water and bad food,' one of the deportees said of their condition at the military camp where they said they are being held, identifying himself as a Nigerian who had lived in the U.S. for 12 years."
