A Ghanaian woman who has lived in the U.S. for five years and works as a home health aide in Franklin County is facing deportation to Uganda under a 2025 U.S.-Uganda agreement, despite having no ties to Uganda and speaking a different language. She has been seeking asylum but the Department of Homeland Security is pushing to cut her case short and deport her to the third country. Immigration lawyer Gus Shihab noted the contradiction in the U.S. government's position, as the State Department has documented human rights concerns in Uganda while simultaneously claiming it is a safe destination for deportees.
