A US deportation plane traveled to Liberia first. Some migrants declined to step off. They stayed on board. The plane set off for Equatorial Guinea on Monday, August 24, 2026. Journalists tracked the path. CNN, AP News, the Toronto Star, KCRA, and the Temple Daily Telegram reported the event.
Liberia previously agreed to take 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 plane to Equatorial Guinea as a result.
