Over hundred Nigerians face deportation
The United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has released an updated list of 124 Nigerians slated for deportation as part of its ongoing immigration enforcement efforts.
According to the DHS, those listed have been placed on what the agency describes as its “worst-of-the-worst” criminal register, which includes non-U.S. citizens convicted of serious criminal offences.
The department has made public the names and photographs of the affected individuals. However, it has not disclosed the specific crimes for which they were convicted or provided a timeline for when the deportations will be carried out.
DHS officials said the deportations are part of the agency’s broader efforts to enforce U.S. immigration laws and remove non-citizens convicted of serious crimes from the country.
Despite confirming that all those on the list have criminal convictions, the department declined to release further details regarding the offences or the deportation schedule.
