Deportees who refused to exit a US flight in Liberia are sent to Equatorial Guinea

Six deportees refused to disembark in Liberia and were instead flown to Equatorial Guinea.
The group (four Cubans, a Brazilian and a Cameroonian woman) arrived in distress — some chained, one with urgent medical needs — and are being held at a hotel reportedly used as a detention site with worsening conditions.
The case highlights the U.S. practice of secret “third‑country” deportation deals (including a reported $7.5M agreement with Equatorial Guinea) that advocates say can send asylum seekers to unsafe places.
