一句话看懂
Ten deportees to Liberia allege ICE abuse, including shackles and blows. The accounts fuel scrutiny of U.S. deportation practices and human rights concerns.
背景
The New York Times interviewed ten deportees who were expelled from the U.S. to Liberia, detailing months in detention and a 14-hour flight where they allege abusive treatment by ICE agents. The deportees, many from African and other countries, say they were sent to nations where they have no ties, complicating reintegration. The White House, DHS, and State Department responded that only deportees who cannot be returned to their home nations or refuse to go back are sent to third countries.
