“Without an appropriate response from Ghana, the scope of these sanctions may be expanded to a wider population,” the statement said

“Ghana has failed to live up to its obligations under international law to accept the return of its nationals ordered removed from the United States,” said DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen.

“We hope the Ghanaian government will work with us to reconcile these deficiencies “.
