The arrests were made by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers across the United States. The offenses range from wire fraud and mail fraud to drug-related crimes, identity theft, assault, forgery, weapons violations, and child cruelty. DHS emphasized that the list highlights non-US citizens with criminal records apprehended by immigration enforcement officers. The department claimed it was fulfilling President Trump's promise of mass deportations, starting with the worst criminals. The names, offenses, and arrest locations of the 24 Nigerians are detailed in the department's publication. However, the information does not specify the individuals' final immigration status or their deportation proceedings.",
