According to a report from the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), a total of 3,690 Nigerians are among those listed for deportation.

The document, titled “Noncitizens on the ICE Non-Detained Docket with Final Orders of Removal by Country of Citizenship,” places Nigeria second among African nations, just behind Somalia, which has 4,090 citizens facing removal. Ghana follows closely with 3,228.

The US government has been ramping up its immigration enforcement measures, with President Trump signing a series of executive orders on his first day in office, including an end to birthright citizenship for children of undocumented migrants.

The ICE report states that over 1.4 million non-citizens have final removal orders, with Mexico and El Salvador topping the list.

The crackdown has sparked fear among undocumented migrants, including Nigerians, many of whom have lived in the US for years.
