Hundreds of Liberians Awaiting Deportation For Crimes Committed in the U.S.
Toronto – Several officials in the Liberian government could find themselves being denied entry visas into the United States of America in the wake of a lingering deportation issue that has seen the U.S. take stern action against the West African state of The Gambia.

“I cannot confirm if the US has any plans to deny visas to Liberian government officials; at least the Liberian Embassy has not been alerted on this.
With regards to the removal of undesirable Liberians from USA and Canada, we have an official number of 53 Liberians that are currently being processed, as far as, our agreement with both US and Canadian Immigration authorities have been concluded”
– Jeremiah Sulunteh, Liberian Ambassador to the U.S.
The U.S. took a decision on October 1, 2016 that it would no longer issue new visas to officials of the Gambian government, their spouses or children, due to a longstanding dispute over President Yahya Jammeh’s government’s refusal to accept Gambian citizens being deported from the U.S.
