“A federal judge worried publicly Friday that the Trump administration had, ‘with a wink and a nod,’ deported a group of African nationals to Ghana, only to have Ghana redirect them to countries where they may face torture and persecution,” Politico reports.
“U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan is still weighing what, if any, power she has to order protections for the group of Nigerian and Gambian citizens, who were abruptly sent to Ghana last week aboard a U.S. military plane. But she made clear that she viewed the administration’s actions as underhanded.”
