The United States Department of Homeland Security has announced plans to deport at least 124 Nigerians listed among what it described as the “worst of the worst” criminal aliens in the country.
PUNCH Metro learnt this on Thursday from a DHS statement published on its website on Wednesday.
The Nigerians were included on what the DHS described as its “worst of the worst” criminal register.
Although the names and photographs of the Nigerians and other foreign nationals were published on the website, it remains unclear when they will be deported.
The US immigration authorities explained that the deportations were part of ongoing immigration enforcement, adding that those listed had been convicted of serious crimes.
