Immigrant Deported by US and Jailed in Africa for a Year Freed
Original: An immigrant deported by the US and held in an African prison for more than a year has been released
An immigrant who was deported by the United States and then imprisoned in an African country for more than a year has been released. The case has drawn attention to US deportation practices under which removals have been sent to third countries, and to the conditions deportees face after being transferred to nations with no ties to them.
Why now: The release follows widespread criticism of US third-country deportations that left migrants detained abroad for extended periods.
