The United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has released the names and photographs of 124 Nigerian nationals identified for deportation as part of its intensified immigration enforcement campaign targeting non-citizens convicted of criminal offences.
The list, published under the DHS’ “Worst of the Worst” register, identifies Nigerians among hundreds of foreign nationals facing removal from the United States following convictions for various crimes. However, the agency did not specify the exact dates when the deportations would take place.
According to U.S. authorities, the affected individuals were convicted of offences including wire fraud, identity theft, money laundering, mail fraud, forgery, drug-related crimes, violent offences and other serious criminal violations. The publication forms part of the Trump administration’s ongoing crackdown on criminal non-citizens.
