Over 5,000 Nigerians Face Deportation Amid Trump’s Immigration Crackdown

-
No fewer than 5,144 Nigerians are set to be deported from the United States as President Donald Trump intensifies efforts to remove undocumented immigrants.
Among them, 3,690 are on ICE’s non-detained docket with final removal orders, while 1,454 are currently in detention, including 772 arrested for criminal convictions or pending charges.
The Federal Government has established an inter-agency committee to respond if mass deportations occur, according to the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NiDCOM).
ICE’s latest directive aligns with Trump’s immigration policy, ramping up daily arrest and deportation operations to between 1,200 and 1,500 individuals.

President Trump has repeatedly said his administration will prioritize deporting undocumented immigrants with criminal histories. Consequently, ICE officials have been directed to aggressively ramp up the number of people they arrest.

Hours after taking office, Mr. Trump indefinitely paused the U.S. refugee admissions program, instructing officials to ban the entry of all refugees, a special legal classification for people vetted overseas who prove they are fleeing persecution based on their political beliefs, religion or other factors. 

Unpublished State Department statistics obtained by CBS News show the move stranded more than 22,000 refugees who had been approved for departure to the U.S. after undergoing a process that, on average, takes between 18 and 24 months due to rounds of interviews, security screenings and medical checks.

Mr. Trump's move to stop birthright citizenship — still in the courts — would deny citizenship to children born in the U.S. to immigrants on temporary visas (as well as to those with parents who are in the country illegally).

  White House   press secretary   Karoline Leavitt    on Wednesday has criticized  the media, Democrats, and likely some   Republicans   in the House and Senate for trying to “sow chaos” in the White House with their response to the   Signal   text chain debacle. Leavitt was asked by a reporter if she would definitively say that no one would be fired after a journalist was accidentally added to a Signal thread with top U.S. officials discussing military plans. Leavitt said, "What I can say definitively is what I just spoke to the president about, and he continues to have confidence in his  national security team ." Meanwhile, CNN's Collins attempted to ask the press secretary a follow-up question, but was quickly cut off by Leavitt, who called on another reporter in the room.

  President Trump signed an executive order targeting the ticket reselling industry during a signing ceremony from the White House. The new order will allow the Justice Department and Federal Trade Commission to go after the reselling industry, which has used computer bots and algorithms to buy large blocks of tickets and resell them at extremely higher prices.  Musician Kid Rock, who also appeared at the Republican National Convention last July, was present at the signing in the Oval Office.  The president also took several questions from the press, including on the possibility of additional sanctions on Russia, immigration, and tariffs. “I’ve spoken to him over the years about it and it bothers him,” Trump said about Kid Rock during the executive order’s signing. “It bothers a lot of other artists. They go out with a $100 ticket, and it sells for $2,000 the following night.” Trump admitted that he hadn’t known much about price gouging, “but I checked it out, and it is a...
