The United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has announced its intention to deport a Nigerian national, Ibrahim Ijaoba, due to a series of criminal convictions that include violent offenses and drug-related crimes.
In a statement issued on Monday, ICE confirmed that Ijaoba is currently in federal custody and is under a final deportation order.
“Ibrahim Tunde Ijaoba is an illegal alien from Nigeria with a criminal background and is a former member of the Bloods, a notoriously violent street gang,” the agency stated.
ICE reports that Ijaoba entered the United States unlawfully and subsequently developed an extensive criminal record with multiple serious offenses.
The charges against him include armed robbery, aggravated assault on a law enforcement officer with a firearm, assault and aggravated assault, obstruction of justice, drug trafficking, and escaping from police custody.
ICE also mentioned that the Nigerian national will remain in detention until arrangements for his removal from the United States are finalized.
The agency did not disclose information regarding the date of his entry into the country or a specific timeline for his deportation.
In the meantime, ICE has faced ongoing criticism during President Donald Trump’s administration, with accusations of human rights violations and a lack of respect for court rulings as enforcement actions against undocumented immigrants have increased.
