19 Nigerians Face Deportation From US

At least 19 Nigerians have been scheduled for deportation from the United States following their inclusion on the American government’s “worst of the worst” criminal list.
Information obtained from the website of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security on Sunday indicates that the recent update has increased the total number of Nigerians marked for deportation to 113.

The newly added individuals were convicted of offences including sexual assault of a minor, fraud, assault, drug trafficking, and money laundering, among others.
A statement accompanying the list explained that the convicts were arrested by officials of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and would be deported after the conclusion of immigration procedures.
It stated: “The U.S. Department of Homeland Security is highlighting the worst of the worst criminal aliens arrested by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
“Under Secretary Kristi Noem’s leadership, the hardworking men and women of DHS and ICE are fulfilling Donald Trump’s promise and carrying out mass deportations – starting with the worst of the worst – including the illegal aliens you see here.”
Those newly listed include Adeolu Solabu, Oladayo Agboola, Chinonso Ochie, Oluchi Jennifer Chimdimma Chime, Samuel Omorodion, Sunday Adediora, Sunday Kunkushi, and Mkpouto Etukudoh.
Others are Marcus Unigwe, Kehinde James, Blessing Uchanma, Victor Adebisi, Richard Ugbah, Olaniyi Ojikutu, Oluwamuyiwa Olawoye, Okechukwu Amadi, Femi Jolayemi, Anthony Asanya, Izuchukwu Okoye, and Ebele Agbasiele.
The development comes amid an ongoing crackdown by U.S. authorities on criminal and undocumented migrants under the administration of Donald Trump.
Earlier reports showed that 79 convicted Nigerians were initially listed for deportation following their arrest by ICE. Within three weeks, that number has risen to 113.
