U.S. Expands Deportation List for Nigerians to 134 Individuals

The U.S. government has expanded its list of Nigerians marked for deportation to 134 individuals, publishing their photographs and full names. These individuals were arrested in various cities, including Dallas, Atlanta, and Los Angeles, with alleged crimes ranging from financial offences to violent and sexual crimes.

Notable cases include Adesina Surajudeen Lasisi, arrested in Dallas for wire and mail fraud, and Eghosa Obaretin, apprehended in Antonio for fraud and wire fraud. Other individuals face serious charges, such as Donald Ehie, arrested in Clayton, Missouri, for assault and kidnapping, and Oluwaseyanu Akinola Afolabi, charged with sexual exploitation of a minor in Indiana.

The list reflects a significant focus on financial crimes, with many individuals facing charges related to wire fraud and identity theft. The U.S. continues to enforce strict immigration measures, despite previous policies under the Trump administration recognizing certain legal residents as exempt from deportation.
