“Twene Jonas Warns Undocumented Ghanaians in the U.S. Amid Deportation Fears.
Ghanaian social media influencer and commentator, Twene Jonas, has urged undocumented Ghanaians residing in the United States to remain indoors amid increasing reports of deportation activities. Jonas made these comments in a recent video, addressing concerns within the Ghanaian community about heightened immigration enforcement.
The advisory follows news of mass deportation activities reportedly initiated under former President Trump’s administration. Although these reports have stirred significant fear among undocumented immigrants, Jonas emphasized the importance of staying vigilant and limiting unnecessary outdoor activities to avoid potential encounters with immigration authorities.
Addressing speculations about his own circumstances, Jonas refuted rumors that he is avoiding public appearances out of fear of deportation. He clarified that his recent decision to stay indoors is influenced by the harsh winter weather rather than any immigration-related concerns. “I am not afraid of deportation. My decision to stay indoors has nothing to do with that. The weather is extremely cold, and I prefer staying indoors,” Jonas stated in his video.
The issue has drawn greater attention within the Ghanaian community following the reported deportation of Young Don, a close associate of Twene Jonas. Young Don’s deportation has sparked widespread discussions, with many expressing concerns over the growing number of Ghanaians being deported from the U.S.
Twene Jonas, known for his outspoken criticism of Ghanaian leadership and advocacy for better governance, used the opportunity to remind undocumented immigrants of the precarious situation they face. He highlighted the importance of exercising caution, especially during periods of intensified immigration enforcement, while also encouraging immigrants to explore pathways to legalizing their status in the U.S.
The recent deportations have underscored the challenges faced by undocumented immigrants, not just from Ghana but across the globe. For many, the fear of deportation has added to the already difficult realities of living in the shadows.
In the wake of these developments, many members of the Ghanaian diaspora in the U.S. have called for increased support from Ghanaian authorities to address the concerns of undocumented immigrants and advocate for their welfare.
Twene Jonas’s comments reflect the ongoing struggles of undocumented immigrants and the urgent need for comprehensive reforms to address immigration issues in the U.S.
