Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is targeting at least 1,445,549 non-citizens from 187 countries, including 1,282 Kenyans, for deportation. The operation, which ICE described as part of its routine enforcement actions, seeks to remove individuals residing in the United States without legal authorisation.
According to ICE, the targeted individuals have violated immigration laws or committed other offences that warrant deportation. "Each year, ICE carries out targeted enforcement against noncitizens who fail to comply with legal requirements or court orders," said an ICE official. "This includes individuals from diverse countries around the world." Kenyans listed among the individuals targeted face removal proceedings under the agency's ongoing operations.
ICE stated it conducts these operations in compliance with federal law and respects due process for those affected. The U.S.
