Nigerian campaign canvasser arrested by ICE in US

A Nigerian canvasser for a Democratic congressional campaign in Pennsylvania has been arrested by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) after pleading guilty to a disorderly conduct charge related to a public indecency incident. Chimaobim Adedayo Igbojekwe, the accused, was apprehended in East Pennsboro Township, Pennsylvania, on September 27 for his alleged actions.

According to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Igbojekwe was working for Janelle Stelson, the Democratic candidate for Pennsylvania's 10th congressional district, at the time of the incident. The DHS reported that Igbojekwe was found "with his trousers off and exposing himself in a residential neighbourhood near a park where residents, including children, were present."

ICE Deputy Director Charles Wall harshly criticized Stelson for employing the Nigerian national, accusing her of hiring an "illegal alien to work on a Congressional campaign, let alone a pervert who exposed himself in public." Wall emphasized that the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's mission is to remove dangerous illegal aliens like Igbojekwe from American communities, prioritizing the safety of the American people.
