A US deportation plane traveled to Liberia first. Some migrants refused to step off. They stayed on board. The plane departed toward Equatorial Guinea on Monday, August 24, 2026. Media outlets tracked 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 stayed put. Officials then sent the flight to Equatorial Guinea as a result.
