Congressional Black Caucus Demands Halt to Deportation of Cameroonian Refugees
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

House Democrats are demanding the Trump administration call off plans to
deport dozens of Cameroonian asylum seekers. Some of them are activists
who face arrest warrants in Cameroon and political persecution from
government forces known for conducting extrajudicial killings.
Yesterday, members of the Congressional Black Caucus wrote a letter to
the Trump administration stating, "Allowing deportations to continue
would support the false depiction by Cameroon that the country poses no
risks to deportees and that reports of human rights abuses are
overblown."
