US deportees sue Ghana over 'illegal' detention
Eleven US deportees in Ghana sue government over 'illegal' detention, challenging President Mahama's deportation deal with the US. The detainees' lawyer contests their detention in a military camp, asserting their innocence under Ghanaian law. Opposition MPs criticize the deal and demand its suspension until ratified by parliament, amid conflicting reports of deportees' return to their countries of origin. The lawsuit highlights tensions over deportations as part of the US government's immigration policy under President Trump.
