The United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has identified nearly two million “illegal immigrants” for deportation, with Nigeria ranking second among African nations affected by the enforcement action.

According to an ICE document obtained by Fox News, 1,445,549 non-citizens with final removal orders were on the agency’s non-detained docket as of November 24, 2024. Nigeria accounts for 3,690 persons on the list, following Somalia’s 4,090 in Africa, while Mexico leads globally with 252,044 individuals.

Key Statistics:
– Total targeted for deportation: Nearly 2 million
– Nigerians affected: 3,690
– Somalia (Africa’s highest): 4,090
– Ghana: 3,228
– Mexico (Global highest): 252,044

The U.S. government has called on countries to cooperate in accepting their nationals, warning that lack of cooperation could lead to countries being classified as “uncooperative or at-risk of non-compliance.” The deportation initiative comes as part of President Donald Trump’s renewed immigration enforcement policies following his return to office.

The enforcement action requires foreign governments to:
– Confirm citizenship of suspected nationals
– Conduct interviews
– Issue timely travel documents
– Accept returns via commercial or charter flights

The mass deportation plan follows Trump’s recent executive orders, including declaring a national emergency at the US-Mexico border and deploying troops for enhanced border security.
