Full List Emerges As 130 Nigerians Face Deportation Threat From America

The development was revealed in a statement and accompanying document published on the official website of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

Titled “Worst of the Worst,” the document lists individuals described as criminal immigrants currently facing deportation proceedings in the United States.

According to the department, the action is part of ongoing enforcement efforts targeting individuals with serious criminal records. The statement emphasized that the DHS is prioritising the removal of offenders arrested by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

It added that the deportation drive aligns with immigration enforcement priorities under President Donald Trump, aimed at removing undocumented migrants involved in criminal activities.

The deportation process will be handled by ICE after all required legal procedures have been completed.
