President Donald Trump’s administration has continued its aggressive crackdown on criminal and illegal immigrants across the United States, with many Nigerians reportedly affected by the policy.

It was widely reported that some Nigerians have gone into hiding while others are quietly returning home amid the intensified deportation drive led by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

The sweeping enforcement actions — including house-to-house raids — have triggered fear, controversy and protests in several parts of the country, particularly following a series of high-profile incidents involving federal immigration officers.

Not a good time to be a Nigerian living in America.

Smh.

It's so obvious that you don’t know what is going on in US.

Go and see what Somalis, Iranians, South Americans face before you start lamenting.

Nigerians are more highly regarded than even Americans neighbour's since Trump 2.0
