Ghana agreed to receive deportees from the US, joining a growing list of African nations accepting undocumented immigrants who are being expelled by American President Donald Trump’s administration.
A first batch of 14 people, who aren’t Ghanaian, have been sent to the country, Ghanaian President John Mahama told reporters in the capital, Accra, on Wednesday. They include Nigerians and a Gambian national, he said, after the country agreed to only people from the West African region.
