The United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has updated its “Worst of the Worst” list, with twelve additional Ghanaians added to the latest list published.
According to reports, the latest update brings the number of individuals from West African countries featured in the database to 427.
The US ICE’s ‘Worst of the Worst’ criminal list features undocumented foreign nationals and criminal illegal aliens who have been arrested or are slated for mass deportation as part of intensified federal immigration enforcement efforts.
With the latest update, the number of Ghanaians on the list has increased from 32 to 44.
The US ICE’s ‘Worst of the Worst’ criminal list profiles include photographs as well as information on the criminal charges or offences linked to their cases.
Some months ago, the United States released the names and photos of 355 West African immigrants listed among the US’s ‘worst of the worst’ criminal aliens, including 30 Ghanaians.
According to reports, the 355 West African immigrants are facing deportation as part of ongoing immigration enforcement efforts by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
Reports by Global World TV news stated, “Nigeria recorded the highest number of deportees, with 110 citizens sent back from the United States. Liberia followed closely with 94 deportees, making it the second-highest country on the list. Ghana had 30 deportees, while Senegal recorded 19.
The deportation exercise also involved citizens from several other West African and African countries. These include Cameroon, Gambia, Côte d’Ivoire, Mauritania, Cape Verde, Burkina Faso, Niger, Guinea, Togo, Mali, Benin, and Guinea-Bissau.
The DHS did not provide specific details about the offences committed by each individual who was deported. However, officials stated that the WOW initiative mainly focuses on foreign nationals who have been convicted of serious crimes while living in the United States.
Such crimes often include fraud, money laundering, drug trafficking, violent criminal offences, and other activities considered threats to public safety. Individuals found guilty of these offences may face deportation after serving their sentences or completing legal proceedings”.
Among the list of 30 Ghanaians, Mona Faiz Montrage, popularly known as Hajia4Reall, a Ghanaian socialite-turned-musician, was also listed on the United States (US) Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) ‘worst of the worst’ criminal aliens.
The list release by the United States has released the names and photos of 355 West African immigrants facing deportation, including 30 Ghanaians.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) says the affected individuals are part of ongoing immigration enforcement efforts.
According to the DHS details, Haji4Real made the list for committing fraud and was arrested in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
