Trump immigration crackdown: US arrests visa overstayers at airports

The United States has begun arresting foreign nationals with expired visas at airports across the country, marking an expansion of President Donald Trump’s immigration enforcement campaign. Reports based on internal US Department of Homeland Security documents and interviews with immigration lawyers say Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers have recently detained travellers at check‑in counters, security zones, boarding gates and arrival terminals in more than a dozen airports. Those targeted include spouses of US citizens, skilled foreign workers awaiting visa extensions, former exchange visitors and other migrants with pending immigration applications. The arrests represent a significant expansion of an existing collaboration between the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and ICE, which previously focused mainly on individuals with outstanding deportation orders. Lawyers say the programme now covers people whose visas have expired even if they have ongoing, lawful applications to remain in […]

West African deportees sue over US third-country expulsions to Ghana

Eleven West African nationals deported from the United States have sued the Ghanaian government, alleging unlawful detention after being sent to Ghana under a third-country deportation arrangement.bbc+1 The deportees, who are not Ghanaian citizens, say they were held in a military detention facility after arrival and later moved in ways their lawyers describe as illegal and opaque. Their legal team argues that the Ghanaian government has no basis to keep them in custody, since they did not violate any law in Ghana.jurist+2 The case stems from Washington’s growing use of third-country deportation deals, which have seen migrants sent to countries other than their own, including Ghana. Rights advocates say the program raises serious due process and non-refoulement concerns, especially when deportees have no ties to the receiving country.politico+1 Reports indicate that some of the deportees were later expelled from Ghana […]

US deports Nigerian after domestic violence convictions

The United States has deported a Nigerian man after multiple criminal convictions, including domestic violence and other offences. According to US Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the man remained in the country after entering on a student visa nearly two decades ago. Authorities said he later built up a long criminal record that included domestic violence, trespassing, intimidation, obstruction, kidnapping, rape, and family neglect. ICE said the deportation was part of its ongoing enforcement against foreign nationals with serious criminal histories. The agency said the case shows the consequences of remaining in the country unlawfully while also committing repeated crimes. The development has drawn attention because it involves both immigration violations and violent offences. It also highlights the role of US authorities in removing non-citizens with serious criminal records from the country.

US Senate Approves $70bn for Trump Immigration Crackdown

The United States Senate has approved a $70 billion funding plan backing President Donald Trump’s hard-line immigration crackdown, advancing a major boost for federal enforcement agencies. The roughly $70bn bill will finance US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the Border Patrol for three years, covering the remainder of Trump’s presidency until January 2029, if it is approved by the House of Representatives and signed into law. Senators voted along largely party lines after weeks of internal Republican wrangling and clashes with Democrats over the scope of enforcement powers and conditions on how the money will be spent. The proposal could ultimately authorise tens of billions of dollars more over several years when related enforcement operations are included. The measure comes out of a broader effort to restore full funding to the Department of Homeland Security, which has faced partial […]

Nigerian Man Faces Deportation After Arrest in US Over Fraud Allegations

A 49-year-old Nigerian man, Etinosa Osahon, is facing deportation from the United States after being arrested over alleged bank fraud and identity theft offences.

Reports say the Nigerian allegedly conspired with others to obtain victims’ details, access bank funds and move the money through various channels in a pattern consistent with organised financial fraud. The full amount involved has not yet been disclosed but investigators describe the case as significant. Osahon, who is not a US citizen, now faces removal proceedings in addition to his criminal case. Immigration authorities say he could be deported back to Nigeria once the fraud and identity […]

Chad deports Nigerians fleeing jihadist violence

Chad has arrested and deported hundreds of Nigerians who fled jihadist violence in the Lake Chad region and sought safety in its territory, Nigerian and humanitarian sources say. Many of those affected are from states in northern Nigeria that have endured years of attacks by Boko Haram and other armed groups. According to Nigerian officials in Borno State, the Chadian authorities recently rounded up irregular Nigerian migrants in several towns and transported them to the border for return to Nigeria. Local sources say some of those detained had lived in Chad for years after fleeing earlier waves of insurgent attacks and had been surviving through informal work and begging. Humanitarian agencies report that thousands of Nigerians remain displaced around the Lake Chad Basin because of ongoing insecurity and repeated attacks by jihadist groups. Many crossed into neighbouring Chad, Niger and […]

South Africa raids US-linked refugee centre, to deport Kenyans over illegal work

South Africa’s Department of Home Affairs has arrested seven Kenyan nationals during a raid on a centre in Johannesburg that processes applications for people seeking resettlement in the United States.

All seven were arrested, issued deportation orders and told they are banned from re-entering South Africa for […]

India deports 32 Nigerians over alleged drug network links

Indian authorities have deported 32 Nigerians after a nationwide crackdown on an alleged transnational drug network operating across several major cities. The deportations came less than two weeks after around 50 Nigerian suspects were arrested in coordinated raids led by India’s Elite Anti Narcotics Group for Law Enforcement, known as EAGLE, working with Delhi Police.​ Investigators say the network was allegedly controlled by a Nigeria based kingpin identified only as “Nick,” who is wanted in multiple drug trafficking cases in India. Officials claim all the Nigerians arrested in Delhi were working for the fugitive mastermind, who is believed to have about 100 associates in the city alone.​ A forensic review of seized phones and laptops reportedly showed a client base of more than 3,000 people across India, pieced together from payment records, encrypted chats and delivery contacts. The syndicate is […]

Trump to End Temporary Protected Status for Somalis

President Donald Trump has announced the immediate end of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Somali immigrants living in Minnesota, claiming the cut is part of his crime prevention policies. Trump said on Truth Social that Somali TPS holders are “hereby terminated,” urging deportation with the message, “Send them back to where they came from. It’s OVER!” TPS protected Somalis from deportation and allowed them to work, provided to those unable to safely return due to war or disaster. Minnesota hosts one of the largest Somali communities outside Africa, with around 705 TPS approvals and as many as 4,300 more eligible for renewal. TPS for Somalis was last extended in July 2024 because of ongoing danger in Somalia from Al-Shabaab insurgency. Trump’s crackdown also targets TPS beneficiaries from Afghanistan, Haiti, South Sudan, Venezuela, and other nations, and faces expected legal challenges. […]

UK Police Search for Asylum Seeker Freed in Error

UK police are searching for an Ethiopian asylum seeker who was mistakenly released from prison after being convicted of sexual offenses.
