21-year-old Moroccan woman deported to Cameroon despite U.S. protection order
Jan 15, 2026 · Alexandria, LA, Morocco

Farah, a 21-year-old Moroccan woman granted protection from removal by an immigration judge in August 2025, was deported by U.S. authorities to Cameroon in January 2026 without due process. Three days before a scheduled hearing on her release, ICE agents detained her and placed her on a flight to Cameroon; after she refused to remain there, she was flown to Morocco despite facing persecution for her sexual orientation. She is among dozens of migrants deported to third countries despite holding legal protections from immigration judges, part of a broader policy to encourage voluntary departure.
