‘393 Ugandans’ on Trump’s Deportation List as US Cracks Down on Illegal Immigrants

The Trump administration has listed Uganda among the countries set to receive deportees in its latest immigration crackdown.

A document from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), circulating on social media, appears to confirm that 393 Ugandans are among those slated for deportation as part of a broader campaign targeting undocumented immigrants.

The move follows a series of executive orders signed by President Donald Trump on his first day of his second term in office, aimed at tightening immigration policies. Key measures include declaring a national emergency at the U.S. southern border, deploying armed forces, completing the border wall, and eliminating asylum and birthright citizenship.

US Officials have described these orders as “common-sense immigration policies” designed to curb illegal migration.

While U.S. authorities have not yet released an official deportation timeline, the policy shift is expected to have significant implications for affected Ugandans, many of whom have lived in the U.S. for years. Human rights groups have already voiced concerns about the abrupt nature of the deportations, urging diplomatic engagement between Uganda and the U.S.

Ugandan officials have yet to comment on the development. However, analysts say the deportation of nearly 400 nationals could have social and economic repercussions, particularly for families that depend on remittances from relatives in the U.S.
