In an interview with DJ Nyaami on SVTV Africa, the Ghanaian man said he has saved some money and is looking forward to the ICE agents arresting him.
“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.
The man said that many immigrant people are unhappy about the deportation because they have not made any preparations back home to settle. He added that others do not even have any relationship with family back home hence making it difficult.
“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.”
