UK-based lawyer begins process of renouncing Nigerian citizenship

A UK-based Nigerian lawyer has begun the process of renouncing his Nigerian citizenship, saying he has already submitted the required application and is now waiting for approval. The development has drawn attention online because it reflects the growing number of Nigerians abroad who are rethinking their legal ties to the country. The lawyer said his decision was deliberate and that he had chosen to move forward with the formal process. He is said to have made the move through the proper legal channel rather than by making a public statement alone. That means the application will still have to go through the official review system before any final decision is reached. For many people in the diaspora, citizenship issues are often tied to identity, convenience, and future opportunities. In this case, the lawyer’s action has sparked discussion about why some […]

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.

Trump: If you import from third-world countries, you become one

US President Donald Trump has said that any country that imports people from third-world countries will quickly become a third-world country itself, as he defended his administration’s tougher immigration stance. Trump originally wrote on Truth Social, “If you import The Third World, you become The Third World,” and later adjusted the wording to say, “Sadly, if you import people from Third World Countries, you quickly become a Third World Country — and there’s not a thing you can do about it”. He linked this argument to his broader push to tighten migration rules, including plans to “permanently pause” migration from what he calls third-world countries so the US system can “fully recover”. The president has also signalled intentions to remove migrants he considers not a “net asset” to the US and to end federal benefits and subsidies for noncitizens he […]

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 […]

Trump suspend les visas d’immigration pour 75 pays

L’administration du président américain Donald Trump a annoncé mercredi une suspension temporaire du traitement des visas d’immigration pour les ressortissants de 75 pays, dont le Togo, dans le cadre d’un renforcement inédit de sa politique migratoire. Selon Tommy Pigott, porte-parole adjoint du Département d’État, cette mesure vise à « déclarer inéligibles les immigrants susceptibles de devenir une charge publique » pour les États-Unis et de profiter des aides sociales américaines. Les autorités expliquent que cette suspension permettra de « réévaluer les procédures d’immigration afin d’empêcher l’entrée de ressortissants qui bénéficieraient de prestations publiques ». Les visas de tourisme ne sont pas concernés, une précision importante avec la Coupe du monde 2026 et les Jeux olympiques 2028 à venir. Depuis son retour au pouvoir en janvier, l’administration Trump a intensifié sa politique migratoire, ciblant désormais aussi l’immigration légale. Des taxes plus […]

Trump moves to end US birthright citizenship, says it was for slaves’ children

US President Donald Trump has again defended his bid to end birthright citizenship, claiming the constitutional guarantee was meant for the children of enslaved people, not for wealthy immigrants or temporary visitors. He argued that the Citizenship Clause of the 14th Amendment, adopted after the Civil War, was designed for “the babies of slaves” and has since been “abused” by rich foreigners seeking US passports for their children.​ Trump signed an executive order on his first day back in office in January 2025, directing federal agencies to stop automatically recognising as citizens most children born in the US to non citizens. Under the order, babies born 30 days after his inauguration would no longer receive birthright citizenship if neither parent is a US citizen or permanent resident.​ Multiple federal courts quickly blocked the order, prompting a legal fight that has […]
