US deports protected Afghan national to Central African Republic
The United States deported an Afghan national who had received protection in America to the conflict-affected Central African Republic. The person is related to Afghans who assisted the US military and was among dozens sent there, according to Al Jazeera. The available brief does not state the legal basis for removal.
Why it matters
The case raises questions about protection commitments to Afghans connected to the US mission and third-country deportations.
