Federal immigration officials in Minnesota this past week deported a former member of a violent Liberian rebel group linked to multiple human-rights abuses. Officers with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) announced they removed Alexander Mentol Zinnah, 56, from the U.S. on Tuesday. Under the oppressive regime of Liberia’s then-President Charles Taylor, Zinnah was a member of the Liberian National Police and served as a commander in Grand Gedeh County, Liberia, investigators said. An immigration court issued a deportation order for Zinnah in May 2019. Zinnah arrived in Liberia escorted by ERO officers on board an ICE charter removal flight and was turned over to the Liberian government, according to a news release from ICE.
