A US deportation plane traveled to Liberia initially. Several individuals declined to step off. They remained on board. The plane departed toward 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 take 1,200 deportees from the US. Some people objected. They did not want to settle in Liberia. They refused to move. Authorities then sent the plane to Equatorial Guinea as a result.
