The United States government is set to deport 3690 Nigerians, pursuant to President Trump’s recent Executive Order targeting undocumented immigrants. This move is part of a larger global deportation effort, affecting 1,445,549 individuals worldwide.
According to data from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), other African countries will also be impacted, including Guinea, Ivory Coast, and Morocco. The deportation order has sparked concerns about the fate of these individuals and their potential impact on the African continent.
Many are calling for these individuals to return to Africa and contribute to its development, rather than facing deportation. As one observer noted, “They should come back and develop Africa.”
The Executive Order, signed by President Trump, aims to crack down on undocumented immigration. However, its implementation has raised questions about the humanitarian and economic implications for the affected individuals and their countries of origin.
