  "summary": "The United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has added 12 more Ghanaians to its \"Worst of the Worst\" criminal aliens' database, bringing the total number of Ghanaian nationals on the list to 44. This places Ghana third in terms of representation among West African countries, with Nigeria leading the list with 134 nationals and Liberia close behind with 111. The database, maintained by ICE, identifies foreign nationals living in the US with serious criminal records and subject to immigration enforcement. The offences range from fraud, identity theft, and money laundering to drug-related offences and sexual crimes. The expansion marks an intensification of immigration enforcement under President Trump, with ICE arresting 478 Ghanaian nationals in 2025, and 312 deported between January and August 2025, a 17 percent increase from the previous year.",
