Venezuelans, Cubans, Colombians arrive in African nation under Trump deportation deal

Liberia received its first deportation flight from the U.S. under an agreement to accept up to 1,200 foreign nationals over the next year. Many of the deportees, including nationals from Venezuela, Cuba, and Colombia, are seeking protection because they fear returning to their home countries due to potential torture or abuse. Liberian officials emphasized that the arrivals are treated as guests until legal proceedings regarding pending protection claims have been finalized.
