The newly listed individuals were convicted of offences ranging from s3xual assault of a minor, fraud, assault, drug trafficking and money laundering, among others.
A statement accompanying the list stated that the convicts were arrested by officials of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and would be deported after the completion of immigration procedures.
“The U.S. Department of Homeland Security is highlighting the worst of the worst criminal aliens arrested by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement,” the statement read.
“Under Secretary Kristi Noem’s leadership, the hardworking men and women of DHS and ICE are fulfilling Donald Trump’s promise and carrying out mass deportations — starting with the worst of the worst — including the illegal aliens you see here.”
Those newly added to the list include Adeolu Solabu, Oladayo Agboola, Chinonso Ochie, Oluchi Jennifer Chimdimma Chime, Samuel Omorodion, Sunday Adediora, Sunday Kunkushi, and Mkpouto Etukudoh.
Others are Marcus Unigwe, Kehinde James, Blessing Uchanma, Victor Adebisi, Richard Ugbah, Olaniyi Ojikutu, Oluwamuyiwa Olawoye, Okechukwu Amadi, Femi Jolayemi, Anthony Asanya, Izuchukwu Okoye and Ebele Agbasiele.
The development comes amid a sustained crackdown by the US authorities on criminal and undocumented migrants.
