Six Nigeria deported from us in the midst of new immigration crushing

Six Nigeria were deported from the United States on Wednesday after being punished for various crimes, in what seems to be part of the wider US immigration crush.

Deported people arrived at Murtala Muhammated International Airport in Lagos around 9 am on the Delta Airlines aircraft. They were accepted by officials from the Nigerian government agency, who are now assigned to determine the right steps that are appropriate regarding their reintegration or possible prosecution.

This deportation was reported to be related to greater efforts by US authorities to delete at least 3,000 Nigerians with criminal records from American land.

This step was carried out in the midst of efforts to enforce new immigration under the administration of President Donald Trump, who returned to the office with a promise to take a tougher attitude towards immigrants and unocumented criminal aliens.

President Trump has doubled the immigration policy he had previously fought for. In the first 100 days, Trump initiated what was described as a strong action against non -document immigrants. He expanded the detention protocol, official arrest outside of school and court buildings, and promised to increase the raids in the workplace to identify non -documents.

“This will be three times more,” said Tom Homan, the head of the Trump border enforcement, referring to the increase in immigration capture at the work site. According to Homan, immigration enforcement at work has increased three times since Trump returned to the office, with further increases expected.

On Monday, President Trump signed an executive order that directed the Attorney General Pam Bondi and the Secretary of Domestic Security Kristi Noem to compile a list of “asylum cities” -the disdiction claimed by administration prevented federal deportation efforts.

Executive commands set a deadline on May 28 for Bondi and Noem to release a list. It also instructs all federal institutions to identify funding sources that can be suspended or revoked in this jurisdiction.

The six Nigerians deported this week, officials from several Nigerian institutions, including immigration, are now handling this case. Their identity and specific crimes they were punished for have not been revealed publicly.
