The newly listed persons were convicted of a variety of charges, including sexual assault on a minor, fraud, assault, drug trafficking, and money laundering.

A note 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.

It read, “The U.S. Department of Homeland Security is highlighting the worst of the worst criminal aliens arrested by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

“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 the US authorities’ ongoing war on criminals and unauthorised immigrants.
