A US deportation plane flew to Liberia initially. Some migrants declined to step off. They remained on board. The plane set off for Equatorial Guinea on Monday, August 24, 2026. News groups tracked the path. CNN, AP News, the Toronto Star, KCRA, and the Temple Daily Telegram reported the event.
Liberia earlier agreed to receive 1,200 deportees from the US. Some people objected. They did not want to settle in Liberia. They stayed put. Officials then sent the aircraft to Equatorial Guinea instead.
