In 2016, the Australian Defence Force (ADF) commissioned the Inspector-General of the Australian Defence Force Afghanistan Inquiry, following allegations of possible war crimes committed by Australian special forces soldiers serving in Afghanistan from 2005 to 2016. The inquiry was conducted independently by a judge and Australian Army Reserve officer, Major General Hon Justice Paul Brereton, with the report released in November 2020.

In the early morning hours of December 7, 2017, U.S. immigration authorities chained the  wrists, waists, and legs of 92 people at a private prison in Louisiana. Masked ICE special ops  officers boarded them onto a contract plane, attempting to deport them by plane to Somalia. The  flight never reached Somalia. Instead, the plane was grounded on the tarmac in  Senegal. The ICE officers told the passengers that the plane needed a repair and forced them to stay seated and shackled for 24 hours. Ultimately, the ICE Air flight returned to the United States, landing in Miami.
