- Liberia will accept up to 1,200 third-country deportees from the United States, with the first 20 arriving on 20 August 2026.

- Rights groups note the U.S. has deported 22,000 people to 26 countries via third-country transfers.
- Liberia announced it will accept up to 1,200 U.S. third-country deportees, with the first 20 arriving Thursday, 20 August 2026.
- Liberian officials called deal a gesture reflecting tradition of welcoming refugees, highlighting President Joseph Boakai’s meeting with President Donald Trump.
- Information Minister Jerolinmek Piah said the United States will support managing the deportee program.
- Liberian officials said deportees are not criminals, may leave freely and be treated as guests.
- Liberia announced it will receive up to 1,200 U.S. third-country deportees within 12 months, beginning with 20 arrivals on Thursday, 20 August 2026.
- The program involves no U.S. financial compensation, only unspecified support to manage the transfers.

The Canada-U.S. Safe Third Country Agreement, signed in 2002 and effective Dec 29 2004, built on the 1952 Immigration and Nationality Act to shift asylum claims to the first safe nation. After the Trump administration pursued similar accords in 2019, Liberia announced in Aug 2026 that President Joseph Boakai will receive up to 1,200 U.S. deportees, despite a $124 million health-service pledge and limited local capacity flagged by Minister Jerolinmek Piah.

A Must-Have News for Staying Informed
This news app offers a beautifully designed,user-friendly experience that makes reading the news enjoyable and efficient . The app delivers high-quality journalism from trusted publishers,covering a wide range of topics including politics,entertainment,sports and local news. I love how the content is currated expertly,allowing me to personalize my feed based on my interests.
Nice App
Good to find unbiased news
Great App to Stay Informed Easily
I really like the app. I was looking for something that could give me summarized news about F1, and this does exactly what I needed. The other apps I tried were too opinionated and didn't offer much personalization. Drooid delivers news in short, card-style updates with images that make it visually appealing. The cool thing is that the app offers way more topics beyond F1- there's content for just about any interest. I'd recommend it to people like me - a bit lazy, but who want to stay informed without spending too much time reading.
Greatness
Drooid is great news app for my iPhone,I highly recommend it!
Loving it
Simple and straightforward layout. Refreshing new News App. Looking forward to using it as my go to for current events. Love the name!
Honestly, this app gave me both sides of the news stories. If you're like me, and are always looking for both sides of a story, this app is definitely a good one to check out
Great news app
With so many unreliable, misleading, and heavily editorialized stories passing for “news” these days, it can be a mental drain just pre-screening them for accuracy. Sorting the bad from the good is a best-use of AI, and occasional spot-checks have all come back good. I find myself going to it as my primary news source more and more!
Game changer for news consumption!
I’ve been using Drooid for a month now, and it has completely changed the way I consume news. The app delivers clear, concise, and balanced summaries that save me so much time while keeping me well-informed. I really appreciate how it presents multiple perspectives on each story and provides context without bias. The interface is clean and easy to use, and the transparency about sources builds trust. Great job — this is exactly what modern news apps should be like!
Amazing!
Curated and summarized news for easy reading,sources included. It's a great app for taking in your interests.
Needs Better Accessibility
I really like the concept of this app. I like the short summaries and the ability to see all sides. Like how it shows you both left-leaning and right-leaning opinions. I feel like that's something a lot more people need to see. However, as it stands at the moment, the usability with voiceover, the ios screenreader that allows blind people to use apple devices is bad. I'm able to read stories well enough but when it comes to interacting with them, especially commenting on them, it's not good at all. This short format would be great for blind and visually impaired people to get news, if these issues were improved upon.
Good Sources
Great digest of news from different sources
Very well designed news feed
