Multiple sources report that Moussa (spelled Musa in the claim) Diawara was deported to Ghana in July 2026 under the Trump administration's third-country deportation program, with some giving July 31 as the date. The claim's spelling and the 'Trump administration' attribution match the sources, so the core assertion holds.
Our two reads of who says this, and how, disagree, so it counts as the post's own claim.
What was said
… The Trump administration slammed the CBS News 60 Minute segment Monday that failed to mention a key reason why the illegal immigrant from Mali was deported to a third country. Musa Diawara, a married father of two how do you become a father of two if you're gay? How does that happen? Somebody's gonna have to explain the birds and the bees to me again, because I feel like I got that wrong it was he was deported to Ghana in July, more than a decade after he overstayed a tourist visa and claimed refugee status that barred him from being sent back to his home country of Mali, according to the 60 Minutes profile. DHS insists that the news program left out an absurd bit of fraud from Diawara's asylum application: his claim that he's gay. I think there's a photo of him on screen. Ah, to be clear, he doesn't dress like he's gay. …
VINCE · · from the transcriptPost →What we found
Supports. CBS News (tier2) reports that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement deported Diawara to Ghana 'over the summer,' and the Washington Examiner reports he was deported to Ghana in July.[1][2]
Supports. IBTimes reports Diawara was deported to Ghana on 31 July as part of the Trump administration's third-country deportation programme, and The Mary Sue, citing CBS, gives the same July 31 date.[3][4]
Supports. AOL and Yahoo coverage of the DHS dispute likewise describes the Ghana deportation as occurring in July, consistent with the other sources.[5][6]
Context. The name appears as 'Moussa' in most sources; 'Musa' in the claim is a spelling variant of the same person. The sources do not contradict the claim's details, and the dispute between CBS and DHS concerns his asylum reasoning, not the Ghana deportation date.[1][2]
