US Deports Gay Asylum Seeker to Country Where Homosexuality is Illegal
A gay Moroccan woman, Farah, who fled persecution in her home country and sought asylum in the U.S., was deported to Cameroon despite having a protection order from a U.S. immigration judge. She was subsequently flown back to Morocco and is now in hiding, fearing further persecution from her family. This case highlights concerns about U.S. third-country deportations, where individuals with legal protections are sent to other nations without due process, potentially facing renewed danger. While the Trump administration maintained these actions aligned with law, critics argue they violate human rights and international obligations.
