ACCRA, Ghana (AP) — A group of 14 West Africans deported to Ghana from the U.S. have been sent to their home countries, places where lawyers representing some of the men say they face a risk of persecution or torture.

News of the West Africans' deportation to Ghana emerged last week, sparking a lawsuit by U.S. lawyers. They argue the move was an attempt by U.S. authorities to evade their own immigration laws that prevent some of the men from being returned to countries where their well-being could be at risk.

On Monday, Felix Kwakye Ofosu, Ghana’s minister for government communications, told the Associated Press that all 14 — 13 Nigerians and one Gambian - “have since left for their home countries,” without saying when they were returned.
