U. S. Immigration Releases Deportation Statistics: Mauritania and Nigeria Lead Among African Nations

The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has released its latest deportation statistics, showing that Mauritania and Nigeria have the highest number of deportees from Africa.

As reported by Premiumtimesng. Mauritania tops the list with 3,822 individuals, followed closely by Nigeria with 3,690.

The top 12 African countries with the most deportees are:

1. Mauritania - 3,822

2. Nigeria - 3,690

3. Ghana - 3,222

4. Cameroon - 1,736

5. Ethiopia - 1,713

6. Liberia - 1,563

7. Guinea - 1,897

8. Egypt - 1,461

9. Ivory Coast - 1,224

10. Kenya - 1,282

11. Democratic Republic of Congo - 1,098

12. Gambia - 1,035

These figures indicate a significant increase in deportations from the U.S. to African nations, largely due to immigration law violations, criminal activities, and visa overstays. The U.S. has intensified its immigration enforcement policies, leading to a rise in deportations.

The impact of these deportations is substantial, affecting not only the individuals removed but also their families and communities. Many deportees face challenges reintegrating into their home societies, often with limited support systems.
