A Nigerian woman shared a tearful video on Instagram, expressing panic and grief over the situation. Some Nigerians have stopped working out of fear of ICE raids, impacting their livelihoods.

The crackdown has led to Nigerians considering returning to Nigeria despite economic and security challenges. Chris Ademiluyi, a Nigerian community leader in Maryland, mentioned that some Nigerians have chosen to go into hiding rather than face deportation.
