A Ghanaian man based in the US says he is not afraid to be deported by President Donald Trump’s administration, because he has a business and savings in Ghana.
In an interview with with DJ Nyaami on SVTV Africa, he stated that he is ever-ready to surrender to the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) since they would cover his plane ticket back to Ghana, though he dislikes the handcuffs.
He explained further that, the reason most Ghanaians are afraid to be deported is that they are not well prepared and have no solid ties in Ghana.
Below are some excerpts from the interview:
“I am looking for a place where the ICE agents are so I surrender. They will pay my ticket fare for me. The only thing I don’t like is the handcuff and chains on your hands and legs respectively.”
“I am not relying on them for my ticket though because I have written down the date I want to return to Ghana. But in case they arrest me I don’t have an option,” he clarified.
“Some people sold all their properties to travel abroad but for me, I have a business running in Ghana while I’m abroad. I employ people and all. So I don’t see why I should fear deportation.”
