Ghana government deports Shalimar Abbiusi
In December 2023, Shalimar Abbiusi was kicked out of the country after she shared videos of herself representing the New Force and criticising the then New Patriotic Party (NPP) government.

She was accused of using forged documents to obtain a residence permit as a student at Ghana Christian University College.
She mounted a strong defence, describing her arrest, detention, and deportation from Ghana as traumatic, but her pleas and appeals fell on deaf ears.
Shalimar has returned to Ghana after the New Patriotic Party (NPP) government, led by former President Akufo-Addo, left office, and the National Democratic Congress (NDC) led by President John Dramani Mahama, took over.

Man weeps over Trump's Mass Deportation exercise
Earlier, YEN.com.gh reported that a young Ghanaian man who recently moved to Italy in search of greener pastures has expressed deep concerns that his friends in the US might be deported.
He voiced his concerns in the wake of an ongoing crackdown by the US law enforcement agency, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The young man made this disclosure during an interview about his life in Italy.
The issues about his disgruntled friends came up when he explained that most of his friends with whom he came to Italy later on moved to the US and the UK.
