Of these, Nigeria had the third-highest number of individuals in Africa on the list, with 3,690, after Somalia’s 4,090.
Mexico had the most individuals globally, with 252,044.
Key Statistics:
– Total targeted for deportation: Nearly 2 million
– Nigerians affected: 3,690

The U.S. government has called on countries to cooperate in accepting their nationals.
They added that lack of cooperation could lead to countries being classified as “uncooperative or at-risk of non-compliance.”
The deportation initiative comes as part of President Donald Trump’s renewed immigration enforcement policies following his return to office.
The enforcement action requires foreign governments to:
– Confirm citizenship of suspected nationals
– Conduct interviews
– Issue timely travel documents
– Accept returns via commercial or charter flights
The mass deportation plan follows Trump’s recent executive orders, including declaring a national emergency at the US-Mexico border and deploying troops for enhanced border security
