They should keep and manage him in the States.

He's lived most of his life, all of his adult life over there.

Had he been some nuclear scientist or corporate lawyer, they would have claimed him whilst diminishing any news of his Nigerianess.

Besides all this, is the humanitarian reason. He's disabled and incapable of managing himself, certainly in an environment he hardly knows or remembers.

For me his case is sheer injustice.

Na wa for this U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement people. Abeg Donald Trump must consider this poor man's condition and let him be. If he is repatriated back to Nigeria after all these years in the US, with the social support system he is used to, he will not be able to survive it here where even the abled are not finding it easy.

A deaf and disabled Nigerian immigrant is facing deportation after 34 years in the United States. Anwana, 48, lives in Detroit at an adult foster care facility, helping mow the lawns and mop the floors at a nearby church.

According to reports, Francis Anwana born and raised in Nigeria, Francis Anwana was just 14 years old when he came to the United  States on a student visa. He was deaf, couldn't talk, and had cognitive disabilities, enrolling at the Michigan School for the Deaf in Flint. 

But in a shock to immigrant advocates, the U.S. now wants to deport Anwana to Nigeria. Given his severe disabilities, it would be a virtual "death sentence" for him, said Susan Reed, an attorney with the Michigan Immigrant Rights Center. 

Because of his disability, Anwana can only read at a second-grade level and is unable to mentally grasp the fact he could be forced to go back to Nigeria, according to advocates and his lawyer.

On Wednesday, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement told Anwana he would be deported on Tuesday, Sept. 11, according to advocates for Anwana. After the advocates raised concerns, ICE told them Friday that his deportation has been postponed. Anwana has a meeting with ICE set for Sept. 21.

Several years ago, his visa was not renewed because he was often moved around from group homes and caretakers lost track of his case, said local advocates. They repeatedly tried to get him a path to citizenship, but failed. He has no criminal record, advocates say.

May God please help this man. He has no clue at all as to the evils about to befall him.
I pray that this evil passes away from him.

He has a point due to his condition. It's plain sympathy. Sending him back to Nigeria will be a death sentence.

Ok, so if this dude gets deported what is next for him in Nigeria? One of our Nigerian pastors should step in and ensure that this lost dude doesn't suffer when he is returned back to Nigeria

Message to all our Nigerian Pastors (private jet owners): This is where you guys come in. This is another opportunity for you to show Nigerians that you truly worship God and nothing else.

I wish Francis Anwana all the best!

The heartless president will see to it that he is deported.

I can remember Obama stepping in during his tenure to stop the deportation of a young Hispanic immigrant who was brought into the States illegally as a kid.

I already see him as deported.

you people really think the US president micro-manages every single thing that happens in the country. Dont blame this on Trump..this is just a US agency (ICE) doing what it was created to do. It is true Trump can stop it on sentimental grounds but there is no evidence the case has been brought to his attention. BTW there were more deportations of illegal immigrants under Obama than any president in recent history. Because he stopped few just for show doesn't mean anything. Do your research before coming online to talk gibberish.

shocked

If the US authorities still insist on deporting him they should as well include a casket on the plane because that brother can't make it past a month in Naija with no begging skills as his disabled counterpart in Naija and a government without proper safety net for her challenged citizens...

This man's case requires proper prayers and fasting to block the immigration officers from remembering poor Anwana's case.
