Nigerians in fear as Trump, vowed mass deportation of undocumented immigrants he describes as "criminal aliens,

[Augusta]

Nimi Wariboko, Professor of Social Ethics at Boston University, , has expressed concerns over the fear gripping Nigerians in the United States due to a sweeping crackdown on undocumented immigrants under the administration of President Donald Trump.

He said “Here, of course, there are a good number of Nigerians that don’t have papers. So, there are worrying,” Wariboko said, describing the anxious atmosphere within the Nigerian community in the U.S. barely three weeks after Trump resumed his second term on January 20, 2025.


He said "Some of them are hiding – there is that palpable fear that they could be raided. If you quarrel with your neighbours, they can call the immigration enforcement unit. There is that palpable fear. They are fearful, they are angry, they don’t know what is going to happen.”


Trump has vowed mass deportation of undocumented immigrants he describes as "criminal aliens," has already overseen raids at homes, schools, workplaces, and shopping centres. Undocumented immigrants have been picked up and deported to countries like India and Guatemala, among others. While some have praised his actions, others have criticized the harsh policies.

That is a good move of the US president to defend the US citizens from harm from the illegal migrants. Others may say it was a harsh move but it already happened the first time during his presidency deporting the illegal migrants but this time in his second term, millions will be deported. .

And i am very sure a lot of Nigerians have sold their houses and everything just so they could travel there in the first place.

The problem now if those Nigerians sold their properties before going to the USA may have problems once they reached their place. They might seek help from their relatives close to them.

You know their way and it would be bad as they might just be returning to nothing here and without jobs

Seeking help from relatives that are still struggling to make ends meet. Such situation can be suicidal.

But there's no way out than to seek help.you don't have to die in silence if people can be of help.

I just hope that Trump doesn't deport those that have valid residency in the United States. That would be so bad.
