FULL LIST: Nigerians on fresh US Deportation List

The United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has added 10 Nigerians to its "Worst of the Worst" list of criminal immigrants, according to recent updates on the DHS website. The individuals were arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and are linked to various criminal offenses, such as wire fraud, identity theft, drug offenses, child-related crimes, larceny, aggravated assault, and weapons possession.

This move highlights the intensified immigration enforcement campaign under the Trump administration.

The latest batch of Nigerians was not included in the July list published by the DHS, which featured 124 individuals. Among the newly added names are Temitope Bashua, associated with wire fraud and identity theft in Allenwood, Pennsylvania; Ojehoro Lewis, connected to child cruelty in Conroe, Texas; and Franklin Dikeocha, who faces a sex offense against a child in Dallas, Texas.

Other names include Osemudiamen Kingsley Oziegbe and Raymond H. Ekevwo for wire fraud in Louisville, Kentucky, and Oxford, Wisconsin, respectively.

The individuals listed in the register are not confirmed to have been deported, but rather are shown as criminal immigrants arrested by ICE. The DHS established the register to highlight "the worst of the worst criminal aliens" arrested by ICE. The department emphasized that hardworking men and women from DHS and ICE are carrying out mass deportations, starting with the worst offenders, as promised by President Trump.
