A Ghanaian man serving in the US police force has advised his fellow countrymen and women residing in America to stay calm and cautious amid the ongoing mass deportation.
Speaking in an interview with a travel content creator, the police officer said the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is leaving no stone unturned, cracking down on all undocumented immigrants in the US.

He said that Donald Trump is very serious about ridding the country of illegal immigrants.
"The deportation is going to brutal from now to next year. It's not going to be easy for illegal immigrants. I have even just been called to report to the office for deployment. They started arresting people in my area yesterday. All officers who are on off-duty are being called to come and help," he said.
He, therefore, urged Ghanaians in the US to strictly act by law when immigration officers stop them for questioning.
The police officer said sticking to the law is the only thing that his brothers and sisters in the US could use to defend themselves against deportation.
He said although some federal states are fighting the deportation, he believes it would not yield the needed results because President Trump would not budge.
The US mass deportation
The mass deportation exercise in the US is ongoing despite the opposition from some federal states.
Several undocumented residents in the US have been sent back their respective countries.
So far, about 3,228 Ghanaians are reported to be facing deportation from the North American country.
