That single landing0:04turns a paper capacity of up to 1,2000:07into an operating transit channel0:08through Monrovia, leaving about 1,1800:11places still unused if the ceiling is0:13reached, about 100 a month over 120:15months, and testing how a small West0:17African state houses, screens, and moves0:19people who are not its citizens.0:21Will this become a steady monthly0:22[music] pipeline under published rules0:24or a limited demonstration with costs,0:26rights, and timelines still unwritten?0:2820 people [music] arrived Thursday as0:30the first tranche of the up to 1,2000:32Liberia agreed to accept over the next0:34year. If the cap is filled,0:36>> [music]0:36>> one group down leaves roughly 1,180 to0:39go. The two steps came days apart.0:42First, the scope was set, then the0:43airport confirmed [music] it. A Thursday0:45landing in Monrovia made the agreement0:47operational. The flight landed around0:4912:45 local time at Roberts0:51International Airport near Monrovia and0:53Harbel, routed from Louisiana via Dakar,0:55Senegal, carrying third country0:57nationals removed from the United0:58States.

Both1:15have drawn criticism for opacity, hotel1:17detention, and onward returns, patterns1:19Liberia now must avoid. They are not1:21Liberians being returned. They are third1:23country nationals, described as having1:25immigration violations rather than1:27criminal prosecutions, some with US1:29orders barring return home for risk of1:31persecution or torture. In Liberia, they1:33are described as [music] guests, free to1:35depart or to seek asylum, not held for1:37indefinite detention with international1:39organizations expected to help while1:41Liberia examines any protection claims.1:43The record on money and numbers does not1:45align.

No2:25nationalities for the 20 have been2:26disclosed, though officials have said2:28most of the up to 1,200 are expected2:31from Latin America, including Venezuela,2:33Cuba, and Colombia.
