Liberia Agrees to Take 1,200 U.S. Deportees, Including Venezuelans and Cubans

Liberia will accept up to 1,200 third-country deportees from the U.S. over 12 months, including Venezuelans and Cubans, a U.S. official confirmed August 20. An initial group of 20 was slated for removal. The deal sends people to a nation with no sovereign claim over their citizenship — broadening bilateral deportation arrangements beyond standard practice.
