49 Kenyans Added to Trump’s Deportation List – Diaspora in Panic
At least 49 Kenyans in the US have been added to a new deportation list following renewed ICE enforcement at airports. Reports indicate arrests in Texas, New Jersey and Ohio. Families in Kiambu, Kisii and Nakuru say their kin called in distress after being picked near workplaces and airports.
The Kenyan Embassy in Washington is verifying names. The Ministry of Diaspora Affairs is yet to issue a formal statement. Lawyers advise those with pending asylum or expired student visas to get legal counsel and avoid unnecessary travel. This crackdown comes after Trump’s administration announced tighter immigration controls last week. Many Kenyans now fear making phone calls home will be monitored.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
