At least 79 Nigerians are set to be deported as the U.S. Department of Homeland Security intensifies its focus on “high-priority” criminal offenders.
DHS records show the group includes individuals convicted of violent and financial crimes, such as manslaughter, robbery, drug peddling, and fraud.
These actions stem from a targeted enforcement initiative aimed at removing non-citizens who pose a risk to public safety.
The note read: “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.
“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, including the illegal aliens you see here.”
The list showed that the convicted Nigerians include Boluwaji Akingunsoye, Ejike Asiegbunam, Emmanuel Mayegun Adeola, Bamidele Bolatiwa, Ifeanyi Nwaozomudoh, Aderemi Akefe, Solomon Wilfred, Chibundu Anuebunwa, Joshua Ineh, Usman Momoh, Oluwole Odunowo, Bolarinwa Salau, and Oriyomi Aloba.

Trump’s administration has continued to crackdown on criminal and illegal immigrants across the US with many Nigerians in the country affected by the policy.
Some Nigerians went into hiding while others are returning home secretly over the intensified deportation campaign led by President Donald Trump’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
The sweeping actions, which include house-to-house enforcement raids, have stirred panic, debate and protest, particularly following a series of high-profile, deadly incidents involving the federal immigration officers.
