The United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) publishes an updated deportation list naming 124 Nigerians, along with their photos. Several Nigerian outlets report that the DHS statement, posted on the agency’s website, describes the individuals as “worst-of-the-worst” criminal offenders and links the action to intensified immigration enforcement under President Donald Trump’s administration. The reports say the people were arrested by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and placed on a priority removal list because of criminal convictions.
While the sources agree on the existence of the updated list and the publication of names and images, they do not provide a confirmed deportation schedule. The outlets also do not consistently detail the specific crimes; some reporting indicates the DHS characterization is based on criminal records, while the exact offense descriptions and timing are not disclosed in the public materials referenced.
One outlet notes the list appears on DHS’s “Worst of the Worst” page. Multiple reports characterize the move as part of broader deportation operations that prioritize individuals with criminal history.
