U.S. Secretly Deports Nine Migrants with Court Protections to Cameroon

Sat on the counter overnight. Well past its best.
Summary
The Trump administration secretly deported nine migrants to Cameroon in January, despite most having U.S. court protections preventing their removal to their home countries. The deportees were not from Cameroon, and the U.S. has no public agreement with Cameroon to accept deportees from other nations. Several deportees reported not knowing their destination until arrival, and the cases had not been previously reported.
Key quotes
· 3 pulledIn a secret deportation arrangement, the Trump administration flew nine people, nearly all of whom had been granted U.S. court protections from being sent back to their home countries, to the African nation of Cameroon in January.
None of them are from Cameroon, according to government documents obtained by The New York Times and lawyers for the deportees, and the United States has not made any public deal with Cameroon to accept deportees who hail from other nations.
Several of the men and women deported — whose cases have not been previously reported — told The Times they did not know they were being sent to Cameroon.
