Over 3,690 Nigerians will be expelled from the United States following the ongoing deportation exercise initiated by the brash and tough-talking President Donald Trump.
In the list sighted by News Band Newspaper on Tuesday, Mexico and Nicaragua top the list of immigrants to be sent packing.
The list was released by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) of the U.S.
ICE is charged with the responsibility of protecting America from the cross-border crime and illegal immigration that threaten national security.
Meanwhile, on Thursday last week, hundreds of migrants were arrested and others flown out of the country on military aircraft as Donald Trump’s promised mass deportation operation got underway.
Mr. Trump was sworn into office for his second term, promising during his inaugural speech in the Capitol Rotunda to deport immigrants “at a level nobody has ever seen before.”
His first hours in office included a series of executive actions aimed at restricting border crossings, shutting down asylum applications, booting out the leadership of the federal immigration court system and more.
Officials in the new administration outlined plans for an aggressive immigration crackdown in the days, weeks and months to come.
Though, it’s the fulfillment of a 2024 presidential campaign defined by nationalist rhetoric.
