CNN’s Isobel Yeung: ‘A Growing Number of LGBTQ Individuals’ Are Being Deported by ICE to Third Countries

‘21 year old woman says that because of her sexuality, she and her family have been targeted’

RUSH EXCERPT:

YEUNG: "So this 21 year old woman says that because of her sexuality, she and her family have been targeted in ghana and even accused of witchcraft. So she says she fled ghana to the U.S., where she sought refuge. A U.S. judge actually granted her protections. We recently traveled to central Africa because this woman is one of a growing number of LGBTQ individuals who ice has deported, not to their home country, but to a third country instead. The Trump Administration has signed at least 35 deals with various countries to accept migrants who can‘t be deported to their countries of origin, including a number of African nations.”
