The United States Department of Homeland Security has added more Ghanaians to a list of foreign nationals with criminal convictions. This list is known as the "Worst of the Worst" database.
Twelve additional Ghanaians were recently included in this database. This brings the total number of Ghanaian citizens on the list to 44.
These individuals have reportedly committed crimes while in the United States. The database is used by US authorities to identify and track foreign nationals who have broken the law.
The Department of Homeland Security uses this information for immigration enforcement purposes. Those on the list are considered priorities for removal from the United States.
The expansion of the list highlights ongoing efforts by US authorities to manage immigration and enforce criminal laws.
