The Foreign Affairs Committee of Parliament has invited the United States Embassy in Ghana over recent reports of deportation of some Ghanaians from the US.<\/p>\n
The two are expected to hold the meeting later today [Thursday, June 22, 2017].<\/p>\n
It is reported that about 63\u00a0Ghanaian deportees arrived in Ghana last week from the US after authorities found them to be living illegally in that country.<\/p>\n
In November 2016, another set of 108 Ghanaians were deported. It is unclear if the recent deportation is as a result of the immigration policy of current US President, Donald Trump.<\/p>\n
The US Ambassador to Ghana, Robert Jackson, is expected to answer questions from Members of Parliament on the Committee.<\/p>\n
