About 3,690 Nigerians in the United States are faced with deportation as Trump crackdown on illegal immigrants in the country.<\/p>\n

In the document compiled by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Enforcement and Removal Operations and sighted by our correspondent on Tuesday, the agency revealed the data is broken down by nationality and number of people faced with deportation.<\/p>\n

It also clarified that as of November 24, 2024, there are 1,445,549 non-citizens on ICE\u2019s non-detained docket with final removal orders.<\/p>\n

In the document titled \u201cNoncitizens on the ICE Non-Detained Docket with Final Orders of Removal by Country of Citizenship\u201d, Mexico and El Salvador top the list of nations facing the most deportation, with 252,044 and 203,822, respectively.<\/p>\n

The ICE is charged with the responsibility of protecting America from cross-border crime and illegal immigration that threaten national security.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, on Thursday last week, hundreds of migrants were arrested, and others flew out of the country on military aircraft as Donald Trump\u2019s promised mass deportation operation got underway.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0 Nigerians and other African illegal immigrants in the United States may be the next target for deportation by the American government.<\/p>\n

The fear of deportation has gripped many Nigerians who are illegally staying in the US, following President Donald Trump\u2019s declaration of war against illegal immigration.<\/p>\n

Trump, on his inauguration day as the 47th President of the US, signed a series of executive orders aimed at hardening immigration policies, including the stoppage of citizenship by birth for children of illegal immigrants.<\/p>\n

Trump has signed orders to declare a national emergency at the Mexico-US southern border, stating the deployment of more troops to the area as he threatened to deport \u201ccriminal aliens.\u201d<\/p>\n

Recently, President Gustavo Petro of Colombia has relented and will allow US military planes to fly deportees into the country after turning two transports back in response to what he called inhumane treatment.<\/p>\n

The two leaders had engaged in a war of words on Sunday after Colombia\u2019s move to block Trump\u2019s use of military aircraft in deporting thousands of unauthorised immigrants.<\/p>\n

But on Sunday night, the White House released a statement in which it said that because Mr. Petro had agreed to all of its terms, the tariffs and sanctions Mr. Trump had threatened would be \u201cheld in reserve.\u201d Other penalties, such as visa sanctions, will remain in effect until the first planeload of deportees has arrived in Colombia, the statement said.<\/p>\n

\u201cToday\u2019s events make clear to the world that America is respected again,\u201d it added.<\/p>\n

Colombia\u2019s foreign ministry released a statement soon afterwards that said, \u201cWe have overcome the impasse with the United States government.\u201d It said the government would accept all deportation flights and \u201cguarantee dignified conditions\u201d for those Colombians on board.<\/p>\n

Petro began the day by announcing that he had turned back US military planes carrying deported immigrants. This set off a furious back and forth with Trump, who in turn announced a barrage of tariffs and sanctions targeting the country, which has long been a top US ally in Latin America.<\/p>\n

Trump said on social media that the United States would immediately impose a 25 per cent tariff on all Colombian imports and would raise it to 50 per cent after a week. The Trump administration would also \u201cfully impose\u201d banking and financial sanctions on Colombia, apply a travel ban on Colombian government officials and their associates, and revoke their visas,\u201d the President said.<\/p>\n

Petro hit back on social media. In one post, he announced retaliatory tariffs of 25 per cent on US imports to Colombia; in another, longer post, he said those tariffs would hit 50 per cent.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
