2,470 Ghanaian Nationals Held in US Detention, Awaiting Deportation

A total of 2,470 Ghanaian nationals are currently being held in US detention facilities awaiting deportation, according to new data from United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

This figure, one of the highest on record, reflects the impact of intensified immigration enforcement under the Trump administration. Officials say the surge is partly due to the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Global Enforcement Initiative, which was launched in April to fast-track deportation processes.

So far this year, 478 Ghanaians have been arrested by ICE for various immigration-related offenses, including overstaying visas and undocumented entry. DHS data also shows that between January and August, 312 Ghanaians were deported back to Ghana — mostly for criminal offenses, immigration violations, or visa overstays.

US authorities say they are working closely with the Ghana Immigration Service to ensure a smooth deportation process. Meanwhile, advocacy groups are urging both governments to provide adequate legal assistance and reintegration support for affected individuals and their families.

This growing number has raised concerns among Ghanaian diaspora communities, especially those facing uncertain immigration status.

Kwasi Sibo’s Rise to Stardom: Honoring Christian Atsu’s Legacy Through an Inspiring Football Journey

Kwasi Sibo has become one of the standout names in Ghanaian football in 2025, but his journey to the spotlight began many years ago. What many fans don’t know is that Sibo actually started his football journey alongside the late Black Stars winger Christian Atsu, long before the world began to notice his talent.

Growing up with a deep passion for football, Sibo trained on the same dusty pitches and dreamed the same big dreams as Atsu. While Atsu’s career took off earlier—winning the hearts of millions across the world—Sibo’s rise to fame was delayed. For years, he worked quietly behind the scenes, facing setbacks, injuries, and limited opportunities.

But 2025 became the turning point. His performances this year have been nothing short of exceptional, catching the attention of both local and international scouts. His strength, tactical intelligence, and leadership on the pitch have turned him into one of Ghana’s most promising midfielders.

Sibo often credits his perseverance and faith for keeping his dreams alive. “It wasn’t easy, but I never gave up. Atsu was a brother, and I’m proud to continue the dream we once shared,” he reportedly said.

His story is not just about football — it’s about resilience, delayed but undeniable greatness, and honoring the legacy of a friend who inspired him from the very beginning.
