70 Somalis deported from the US

Seventy Somali nationals on Friday arrived at Aden Adde International Airport after being deported from the United States.

The deportees, are believed to have been affected by the crackdown on illegal immigrants.

Late January this year, more than 90 Somali nationals and two Kenyans were deported from the United States.

US President Donald Trump is implementing his pledge to crack down on illegal immigrants during his campaign for White House last year.

Many illegals were hoping that he would tone down after winning the election but it is now clear that Trump will not backtrack on his hardline immigration policy.

There are around 11 million illegal immigrants in the USA who Trump threatened to deport while he was on the campaign trail.

The deportation came barely three days after a revised travel ban by President Trump was imposed on Somalia alongside five other Muslim majority countries.

The order will block visas being issued to anyone from Syria, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen.
