Reports Emerge Claiming U.S. Court Has Ordered Deportation of Ken Ofori-Atta

January 20,2026

Reports circulating on social media and online platforms suggest that a United States federal court has allegedly ordered the deportation of former Ghanaian Finance Minister, Ken Ofori-Atta.

The claim, which has gained significant public attention, indicates that U.S. immigration authorities may be acting on a court directive concerning Ofori-Atta’s continued stay in the United States. However, no official confirmation has yet been issued by U.S. federal courts, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), or Ghanaian authorities.

The development follows days of intense speculation surrounding the former Finance Minister’s immigration status, including reports that he has been engaging U.S. immigration officials and was recently moved from an initial detention location.

Diplomatic and legal sources have so far declined to publicly comment on the matter, while calls grow for clarity on the legal basis and authenticity of the reported court order.

Political analysts say the situation carries potential diplomatic and legal implications, especially given Ofori-Atta’s high-profile role in Ghana’s recent economic management.

As of the time of publication, neither Ken Ofori-Atta nor his legal representatives have released an official statement addressing the deportation claims.

Observers caution the public to await formal confirmation from authoritative institutions, as developments remain fluid.
