The Department of Homeland Security reportedly published the names and photographs of Nigerians facing removal proceedings.
US Updates Nigerian Deportation List
The United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has updated its public immigration enforcement list, identifying 112 Nigerians facing removal from the country.
The updated list reportedly includes individuals from different parts of Nigeria, with their names and photographs published through the agency’s online platform.
The development was reported on Thursday, September 17, 2026, amid intensified immigration enforcement by the US government.
List Includes Nigerians From Different States
According to reports, the updated register contains 112 names. However, the publication of an individual’s name does not, by itself, establish that the person has already been deported.
The immigration status and legal circumstances of each person depend on their individual case and official records.
Reports also indicate that the latest update represents a reduction from an earlier list that included 124 Nigerians.
US Intensifies Immigration Enforcement
The publication comes amid broader US immigration enforcement efforts targeting undocumented immigrants and individuals with outstanding removal orders.
Washington has also sought greater cooperation from foreign governments in receiving nationals who have been ordered to leave the United States.
Nigeria has previously faced discussions with US authorities concerning the repatriation of its nationals subject to removal.
The latest development highlights the importance of distinguishing between being listed for removal, receiving a removal order and being physically deported. Individual cases require verification through official immigration documentation.
