CITIZENS COMPASS – The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has identified 3,690 Nigerians for deportation from the country.
This was in line with President Donald Trump’s crackdown on persons living illegally in the country.
ICE is responsible for identifying illegal immigrants in the country.
It said that the over 3,000 Nigerians and others from other countries would be deported by ICE’s Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO).
The Nigerians targeted to be deported were listed under the “Noncitizens on the ICE Non-Detained Docket with Final Orders of Removal by Country of Citizenship.” This is part of the broader enforcement of immigration policies that President Trump initiated during his first days in office. On his inauguration day, he signed a series of executive orders aimed at changing immigration rules, which included stopping the automatic granting of citizenship to children born in the U.S. to illegal immigrants.
