Tension is rising as 3,690 Nigerians in the United States are at risk of imminent deportation due to President Donald Trump's intensified efforts to expel illegal immigrants. A recent document from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) reveals alarming statistics on the mass deportation efforts.
Key Statistics:
- 1,445,549 non-citizens have final removal orders, waiting to be expelled from the country as of November 24, 2024.
- Mexico tops the list with 252,044 individuals facing deportation, followed by El Salvador with 203,822.
- Nigeria's numbers are significantly lower, but the looming crackdown has sent shockwaves through the Nigerian community in the U.S.
Trump's Immigration Policies:
President Trump has wasted no time in enforcing strict immigration policies, including:
- Ending birthright citizenship for children of illegal immigrants
- Declaring a national emergency at the U.S.-Mexico border
- Deploying more troops to prevent illegal crossings
- Authorizing the immediate deportation of all undocumented immigrants
The crackdown has sparked panic among thousands of undocumented Nigerians, with some seeking legal counsel to fight deportation and others considering voluntary return to avoid forced removal.
