Thursday, December
11, 2025 - The United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has
released a list of immigrants marked for deportation under a sweeping new
operation targeting individuals with criminal convictions.
The crackdown, which involves more than 100,000 people
nationwide, includes 15 Kenyans arrested across different states.
According to DHS, the initiative is being carried out under
the administration’s directive to prioritize the removal of what it termed as
“high-risk offenders.”
“Under Secretary Kristi Noem’s leadership, the hardworking
men and women of DHS and ICE are fulfilling President Donald Trump’s promise
and carrying out mass deportations - starting with the worst of the worst,” the
department said in a statement.
Among those listed is Alfred Obiero, arrested in Colorado
Springs, Colorado, following convictions for assault, driving under the
influence, and domestic violence.
In California, Bethuel Gathu was arrested in Chowchilla
after a robbery conviction, while Mohamed Chekchekani was detained in San Pedro
for kidnapping a minor and violating the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt
Organizations Act.
Other Kenyans include Patrick Mwangi and Daniel Kathii, both
convicted of driving under the influence in Texas; Isaac Githinji, arrested in
Arizona for fleeing prosecution; and Moses Okoth, detained in Tennessee for
aggravated assault with a weapon.
Clement Mulovi was arrested in Houston for fraud, while
Moffat Muriithi was picked up in Seguin, Texas, for drug-related offences.
The list also names Naserian Montet (Utah), Francis Mungai
(Massachusetts), Antony Karia (Washington), Boniface Mburu (Georgia), Kevin
Gunyanyi (Pennsylvania), and Collins Keanche (Minnesota), each convicted of
various offences ranging from fraud and assault to money laundering.
This development follows President Trump’s recent statement declaring his intention to halt migration from Third World countries entirely.
