On May 6, 2026, the United States deported nine African migrants to Cameroon, according to reports from Cameroonian officials. The group included individuals from various African nations who had been detained in the US for immigration violations.
The deportation was carried out under US immigration enforcement policies. The migrants arrived in Yaoundé, Cameroon's capital, where they were received by local authorities. No further details on their nationalities or legal status were immediately available.
This operation is part of ongoing US efforts to manage immigration, including deportations to countries that accept returnees. Cameroon has previously accepted deportees from the US and other nations.
