The Minister of Foreign Affairs, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, has stated that Ghana will not accept the deportation of an immigrant, Kilmar Abrego Garcia, by the United States Department of Homeland Security.
In a post on Facebook, the Minister stated that “Ghana is not accepting Abrego Garcia. He cannot be deported to Ghana.”
Mr. Ablakwa explained that the government has communicated this position clearly to the US authorities, noting that Ghana’s previous understanding to accept a limited number of non-criminal West Africans was based solely on African solidarity and humanitarian grounds.
He stressed that this arrangement “will not be expanded” to include individuals who do not meet those criteria.
“Ghana strongly objects to these misleading media reports,” the Minister added, reaffirming that the country remains firm in its stance on the matter.
