A staggering 3,690 Nigerians living in the United States are at risk of deportation, according to a recent report from US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). This move is part of the Trump administration’s broader strategy to enforce immigration laws .
The report reveals that over 1.4 million non-citizens without legal status have been ordered to leave the US as of November 24, 2024. Mexico and El Salvador top the list with 252,044 and 203,822 individuals facing deportation, respectively.
African immigrants, including Nigerians, are worried about being deported, especially after Trump’s recent actions. The Nigerian government has not yet commented on the situation, but many Nigerians without legal status are fearing the worst.
