The United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has made good its promise by releasing names and photographs of 124 Nigerians listed for deportation. They are listed under the “worst of the worst” criminal register.
This is part of its ongoing immigration enforcement campaign targeting non-citizens convicted of criminal offences under the Donald Trump administration.
It did not list nature of the criminal offences, nor the date of their deportation.
However, Nigerians are not the only targets in the immigration cleansing, nationals from other other African nations, central America and others make up the list. Nationals of Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico and El Salvador are on the list.
