A US deportation plane traveled to Liberia initially. A group of deportees refused to step off. They remained on board. The plane set off for Equatorial Guinea on Monday, August 24, 2026. Media outlets checked 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. Some people said no. They did not want to settle in Liberia. They refused to move. Officials then sent the plane to Equatorial Guinea as a result.
