The United States government has confirmed plans to deport 15 Kenyan nationals who were convicted of criminal offenses in the country. The deportations follow the completion of their prison sentences or immigration proceedings, with authorities citing the need to enforce U.S. immigration laws and maintain public safety.
Details from U.S. immigration officials indicate that the individuals faced charges ranging from drug-related offenses to fraud and violent crimes. All 15 have exhausted their appeals and will be transferred to Kenyan authorities upon arrival. The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency is coordinating closely with Kenyan officials to ensure a secure and orderly deportation process.
Kenyan authorities have stated that they are prepared to receive the deportees, who will be processed according to national protocols, including verification of identity, health checks, and potential reintegration programs. The move underscores ongoing cooperation between the two countries on law enforcement and immigration matters.
This deportation initiative forms part of broader U.S. efforts to manage the deportation of foreign nationals who have violated local laws, while simultaneously working with partner nations to ensure smooth repatriation and accountability.
