Trump’s Deportation Crackdown To Affect 30,000 Kenyans
Following Donald Trump’s inauguration as America’s 47th President, the Kenyan community in the United States faces a significant threat of decline.
During his inaugural speech on Monday, January 21, Trump indicated plans to carry out his campaign vow of wholesale deportation upon taking office.
Trump outlined a series of moves intended at transforming his incoming administration’s policy, focusing on people residing in the United States without valid paperwork.
He stated, “We will begin the process of returning millions and millions of criminal aliens back to the places from which they came.”
On the first day of his office, Trump promised to release roughly 100 executive orders, ten of which were intimately related to immigration, a key subject in his 2024 campaign.
Shortly after taking office, Trump issued an executive order to remove birthright citizenship, increasing the number of people affected by a lack of US citizenship.

According to Trump, his effort for the expulsion of undocumented immigrants is designed to strengthen national security and ensure that US resources are used solely to benefit residents.
Once these executive orders are implemented, at least 30,000 Kenyans who are thought to be living in the United States without valid documentation will be directly affected.
Illegals are now self-deporting out of fear of Trump’s mass deportations.

Kenyans living in metropolitan centers across the United States are especially vulnerable.
There are indications that immigration raids could begin relatively shortly, as Trump appears determined to keep his campaign pledges.

The worldwide community has criticized Trump’s executive orders, including lobby groups that have stated their intention to challenge them in court.
Immigration groups in New Hampshire have already filed a lawsuit against President Trump’s plan to remove birthright citizenship.
