This is called “chain refoulment” and it’s illegal under both U.S. and international law. And the State Department and ICE know very well what Ghana is doing and simply don’t care.
ICE deported a woman who owned a home in the US for 30 years. A judge banned ICE from deporting her to Sierra Leone where she had been tortured, so it deported her to Ghana, which kidnapped her and sent her back Sierra Leone anyway. ICE is part of this illegal conspiracy.

Before the Court is Defendants' Motion to Terminate the Flores Settlement
Agreement and to Dissolve the Court's 2019 Injunction. [Doc. ## 1567 ("MTT").] The motion is fully briefed. [Doc. ## 1584 ("Opp."), 1612 ("Reply").] The Court held a hearing on the motion on August 8, 2025. Defendants fail to identify any new facts or 5 law that warrant the termination of the Flores Settlement Agreement at this time.
Therefore, for the reasons set forth below, the Court DENIES Defendants' MTT.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:36eqtmzysqf7wsslczw4uxcd/bafkreihoebrtvddzsc34562go2fl5p7vv5eqjesb7afi6wyweq5iaowv4a@jpeg)

Throughout the entire history of this case, the Parties have understood that "it is necessary ... for the New Regulations to follow [Administrative Procedure Act] rulemaking procedures." Flores v. Barr, 407 F. Supp. 3d at 924. This understanding is evidenced by the fact that every time Defendants have attempted to promulgate a rule incorporating the FSA-in 1998, 2019, and 2024 they have always gone through the traditional APA rulemaking process. See also FSA 4 9 ("[T]he INS shall initiate action to publish the relevant and substantive terms of this Agreement as a Service regulation") (emphasis added). Termination of the FSA cannot occur until Defendants have published final, federal regulations implementing the FSA. FSA 99; FSA (as amended) 4 40.
Accordingly, the Court concludes that neither DHS nor HHS is yet in sufficiently
substantial compliance to warrant termination of the FSA under Rule 60(b)(5).®](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:36eqtmzysqf7wsslczw4uxcd/bafkreiah77gqf6ihkxrlfi5ho7i4gfjkpiy3lfml55y67do5vvvb5hxibq@jpeg)
