Three Nigerians have been deported from the United States of America, having been charged with various crimes in the country
It was gathered that their deportation was in connection with a decision by the US government to deport at least 3,000 Nigerians, who had been involved in various crimes in the country.
The deportees arrived on Wednesday, May 14, via a Delta Airlines flight, at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos, just before 9 am. They were received by officials of different Nigerian government agencies who would decide the next line of action.
Under the Donald Trump administration, the US government intends to carry out more deportations, in line with its policy of streamlining migration in the country.
President Donald Trump launched an unprecedented mass immigration crackdown within his first 100 days in office, detaining more people for immigration violations and allowing arrests outside schools and courthouses.
On Monday, he signed an order directing his Attorney General and Secretary of Homeland Security to compile a list of so-called “sanctuary cities” that, according to administration officials, are not cooperating sufficiently with federal deportation efforts.
