The United States of America (USA) has deported six Nigerians who were charged with various offences in the country.

This action aligns with a resolution by the American government to repatriate at least 3,000 Nigerian nationals linked to different crimes across the United States.

The deportees arrived at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos, on Wednesday morning via a Delta Airlines flight. They were received by representatives of relevant government agencies, who are expected to take further action.

Within his first hundred days in office, President Donald Trump, in line with his campaign promises, launched an aggressive crackdown on illegal immigrants — a move described by many as unprecedented. Arrests were even carried out outside courthouses and schools.

On Monday, Trump signed an executive order directing the Attorney General and the Secretary of Homeland Security to conduct raids in areas he described as “sanctuary cities” — jurisdictions that, according to federal officials, were not cooperating sufficiently with deportation efforts.

Tom Homan, Trump’s border advisor, stated that the number of arrests at workplaces had tripled. “It’s going to triple again,” Homan said.

Under the new directive, Trump is also set to slash federal funding to states that do not align with his administration’s hardline stance on mass deportation.

Trump specifically tasked U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem with publishing, by May 28, a list of cities, counties, and states obstructing “the enforcement of federal immigration laws.” He also instructed federal agencies to identify funds subject to “suspension or termination.”
