A US deportation plane flew to Liberia initially. A group of deportees declined to step off. They remained on board. The plane left for Equatorial Guinea on Monday, August 24, 2026. Media outlets tracked the path. CNN, AP News, the Toronto Star, KCRA, and the Temple Daily Telegram covered the event.
Liberia earlier agreed to accept 1,200 deportees from the US. Certain individuals objected. They did not want to settle in Liberia. They refused to move. Officials then sent the plane to Equatorial Guinea as a result.
