The US department of homeland security (DHS) has arrested 79 Nigerians described as among the “worst of the worst” criminal offenders.
The suspects face allegations ranging from sexual assault, fraud, manslaughter, cocaine smuggling, kidnapping, and robbery.
Of the 79 arrested, six are women.
In a statement, the DHS said it would fulfil President Donald Trump’s promise and carry out mass deportations “starting with the worst of the worst – including the illegal aliens you see here.”
