DHS Lists 112 Nigerians for Deportation with Photos
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has announced a reduction in the number of Nigerians it intends to deport, now listing 112 individuals along with their photographs on its official website. This updated list represents a decrease from a previously higher figure and includes Nigerians from various regions of the country.
Among those named are Cletus Onyali, Olaolu Alabi, Marcus Unigwe, and several others. The publication of names and photographs by a U.S. federal agency is considered unusual and indicates a significant change in the handling of deportation cases involving Nigerian nationals.
This action is part of a broader crackdown on undocumented immigrants and individuals with outstanding removal orders. The U.S. has exerted pressure on Nigeria regarding deportation cooperation, with threats of visa restrictions for countries seen as obstructing the return of their nationals.
The complete list of names and photos can be found on the DHS website.
