Nigeria has been ranked third on the list of African countries with the highest number of deportations from the United States between 2020 and 2025.

A total of 437 Nigerian nationals were removed from the US during the period.

This is according to recent data from the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement, ICE, as reported by Vanguard.

Ahead of Nigeria on the list are Mauritania (second) and Senegal (first).

Many are facing deportation because of criminal convictions or final orders issued by immigration judges.

ICE’s enforcement actions are authorized under Title 8 of the United States Code, which allows officers within the Enforcement and Removal Operations, ERO, division to remove non-citizens with final orders of removal.

The data reveals the ongoing challenge faced by the US President Donald Trump’s administration in managing individuals with criminal backgrounds.

Here is the list of African countries ranked by the number of deportations from the US between 2020 and 2025:

Senegal – 689 Mauritania – 481 Nigeria – 437 Egypt – 387 Ghana – 276 Angola – 227 Cameroon – 166 Guinea – 162 Somalia – 154 Kenya – 131

Earlier this month, the Trump administration revoked the visas of hundreds of international students, forcing many to exit the US within days.
