The deal is part of a broader #Trump admin campaign to coax countries to accept immigrants who cannot be legally deported from the #US to their home countries because they would likely face persecution. It is also the clearest example to date of the diplomatic horse-trading the US uses to engineer such agreements.

The documents obtained by NYT include confidential #State Department correspondence & a funding memo, which connects the money transfer [#bribe] to the #Cameroon #deportation arrangement. The files, coupled with confirmation from officials, reveal how the #US government used financial pressure [#extortion] & political incentives to secure a deal that the deportees’ lawyer compared to “selling people.” [#slavery]

#Cameroon has, for more than 4 decades, been led by a strongman president, Paul Biya. The #Trump admin opted not to criticize his disputed re-election in October, & said nothing afterward when security forces waged a deadly crackdown on #protesters.
That gave the #US leverage weeks later, diplomats wrote, when it came time to negotiate a #deportation deal.
