The United States government has released a list of 130 Nigerian nationals scheduled for deportation following convictions for various criminal offences.
According to a statement issued by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), the affected individuals were found guilty of crimes including advance fee fraud, illegal possession of weapons, drug-related offences, and assault.
The list, titled “Worst of the Worst,” was published on the DHS official website and highlights individuals arrested by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The development was reported by TVC News on Friday.
DHS stated that the deportations are part of ongoing immigration enforcement efforts aligned with the policy direction of former President Donald Trump, which prioritised the removal of undocumented migrants convicted of serious crimes.
“The U.S. Department of Homeland Security is highlighting the worst of the worst criminal aliens arrested by ICE,” the statement read.
“Under DHS 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.”
