\n\nSix people who were deported by the U.S. to Liberia last week resisted getting off the plane and instead were sent to Equatorial Guinea, another African nation that signed a third-country deportation agreement with the Trump administration, a person on the plane and a lawyer in contact with the six said yesterday.
\n\nUnder a series of often secret agreements, the Trump administration has deported thousands of people to two dozen countries that aren’t their own as it pushes ahead with its immigration crackdown, advocates say. Immigration lawyers say the practice is being used as a legal loophole to indirectly return some asylum seekers to countries they fled.
\n\nThe group who refused to get off the plane in Liberia include four Cuban men, a Brazilian man and a Cameroonian woman, the person and lawyer said. Meredyth Yoon, litigation director for Asian Americans Advancing Justice-Atlanta, said they were told they would be returned to the U.S.
