United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement, ICE, has deported a Nigerian, Ayodeji Ajayi, over domestic violence and other criminal convictions.
The Immigration authorities said that the deportation is part of ongoing immigration enforcement efforts.
The agency disclosed that Ajayi entered the United States in 2007 on a student visa but remained in the country after leaving school, violating the terms of his stay.
According to the agency, Ajayi later built up a criminal record that included convictions for domestic violence, trespassing, intimidation and obstruction.
It also stated that his criminal history contained allegations and charges related to kidnapping, rape and family neglect.
The agency announced the deportation in a statement shared on its official X account, describing the action as part of the administration’s efforts to remove undocumented immigrants with criminal records from the country.
The deportation came as US authorities continue to intensify enforcement measures targeting non-citizens with criminal histories.
