IPNews-Monrovia-Liberia-31 January 2019: credible sources have informed the independent probe newspaper, that the United States Department of Homeland Security has been granted authority under United States Code 552(a), 46 U.S.C. 70110 and as delegated, section 70110(a) to order the U.S. Coast Guard to impose conditions of entry on vessels arriving in the U.S. from Liberia – especially the Freeport of Monrovia.

The U.S. Coast Guard determined that the Government of Liberia has failed to maintain effective anti-terrorism measures considering the lack of security measures and other sanctions imposed on several Lebanese businesses in this small West African country.
This restriction comes days after reports of Liberia entering a deal granting Senegalese vessels to fish in Liberian Waters.
Details are emerging.
