A US deportation plane headed to Liberia initially. Several individuals declined to step off. They remained on board. The plane left 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 detailed the event.
Liberia previously agreed to receive 1,200 deportees from the US. Certain individuals objected. They did not want to live in Liberia. They refused to move. Officials then sent the flight to Equatorial Guinea as a result.
