According to the man, identified on TikTok as Prophakwa, the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers are targeting immigrants from Africa through their food delivery records.

He suggested that many African immigrants in the US have been arrested and detained for deportation through their food order records.

Consequently, Prophakwa advised Ghanaians in the US to avoid ordering local food such as waakye, banku and fufu from African restaurants.

"Don't stay in your rooms and keep ordering waakye, banku, and fufu. You can be tracked down through your food delivery records. Since they know no white person would typically order those foods, be aware of this and stay out of trouble," he said.

US mass deportation

Since the commencement of mass deportation in the US by President Donald Trump, many undocumented immigrants have been sent back to their respective countries.

So far, no Ghanaian has officially been deported, but many of them have reportedly been living in fear, confining themselves to their rooms.
