No fewer than 79 Nigerians listed on the United States, US, worst-of-the-worst criminal aliens register are facing deportation as part of a renewed immigration enforcement campaign by the US government.
The deportation process is being executed by the US Department of Homeland Security through Immigration and Customs Enforcement, ICE, under the administration of President Donald Trump, which has prioritised the removal of undocumented immigrants with serious criminal records.
Information published on the DHS website indicates that the Nigerians affected are largely former convicts who were arrested by ICE and found guilty of offences including drug trafficking, rape, fraud, assault, robbery, and manslaughter.
According to DHS, the action aligns with President Trump’s campaign pledge to focus immigration enforcement on foreign nationals with violent or severe criminal histories.
“The U.S. Department of Homeland Security is highlighting the worst of the worst criminal aliens arrested by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement,” the agency stated.
“Under Secretary Noem’s leadership, the hardworking men and women of DHS and ICE are fulfilling President Trump’s promise and carrying out mass deportations, starting with the worst of the worst.”
