"Mass Deportation" and The Implementation of a "Deportation Force “by DONALD TRUMP

Over the past several months, we heard a lot about "mass deportation" and the implementation of a "deportation force “by the DONALD TRUMP led American government. -- but many us immigrants, including Nigerians had hoped they never live to see the day. Unfortunately, it's about to become reality.

Last month February 2017, the US Department of Homeland Security issued guidance regarding their immigration enforcement plans, "set [ting] the stage for mass deportations, of Nigerians and other nationals." as CNN characterized it.
In the views of most critics of the new immigration policy by the republican government led by DONALD TRUMP, “Rather than a common-sense focus on those who have committed serious violent crimes, the new administration is taking steps to vastly increase the population of immigrants who will be targeted, detained, and deported”...

The new guidance not only prioritizes the deportation of all undocumented immigrants who have been convicted of any crime -- it makes clear that even being charged with a criminal offense, regardless of the opinion of a judge or jury, is now grounds for deportation. And most of the agitation/ protest over this subject matter is that' the justice and immigration systems are being manipulated to suit the deportation force policy of Mr. Donald Trump.
According to Yolanda Magallanes the Development Director Organizing for Action, he is of the opinion that,   “They're expanding expedited removals and bypassing due process. They're cracking down on vulnerable asylum seekers. They're stripping protections for unaccompanied minors. They're calling for a massive increase in mandatory detentions”.

Yolanda Magallanes explained that the DHS plans to hire 10,000 more ICE agents and 5,000 additional Customs and Border Protections agents; deputize significantly more local law enforcement officers to immigration enforcement; and drastically expand detention capabilities. Thus: he code named it “deportation force."
More so he stressed that us national security won't be strengthened by targeting law-abiding undocumented immigrants, and in his words,” it's difficult to understand why we'd push due process and the proper function of our justice system aside and spend billions in taxpayer dollars on this draconian crackdown”
In view of the forgoing, Millions of people across the country, plus Nigerians are now forced to live in fear that they or their loved ones could be deported at any time.
Yolanda Magallanes believes this is not what America is all about. He calls on global citizens to join in condemning the policy, and possibly stop its implementation

Doctor Declares No Cure for President Buhari’s Disease,

The latest disclosure of Buhari’s health status has put pressure on him to step down or resign.
The medical treatment in London, has revealed that apart from a lingering prostrate flare-up and other chronic conditions, the Nigerian leader has also recently been battling with a persistent “internal organ” problem.
The source attributed President Buhari’s inability to eat, as well as his progressive loss of weight, to Crohn’s Disease, a medical condition that has affected his digestive system.
According to the source, Buhari had parts of his colon removed in 2013, and also had another operation to have hemorrhoids, swollen veins near the human rectum, removed in 2016 in London, during one of his secret trips to seek urgent medical treatment.
The latest revelation appears to validate a claim by Buhari’s wife, Aisha Buhari, to the effect that her husband was dealing with “internal organ failure.”
In interviews, several Doctors in Nigeria and the UK, disclosed that the fact that Buhari was an outpatient, indicated a condition consistent with Crohn’s disease.
Two of the Doctors stated that it was likely that Buhari’s course of treatment for his prostrate and other issues, led to a complication and worsening of his Crohn’s disease.
Doctors also revealed that Crohn’s disease can be both painful and debilitating, and sometimes may lead to life-threatening complications. “When it occurs in younger people, there is a higher chance of future complications than in older patients,” one Doctor told our Correspondent. He added, that the disease “often worsens with age.”

According to the Doctors consulted for this report, while there is no known cure for Crohn’s disease, palliative therapies can greatly reduce its signs and symptoms, and even bring about long-term remission. Some of the Doctors stressed that, with proper treatment and management, many patients with Crohn’s disease are able to function well.
