US authorities expelled 2,134 individuals from sub-Saharan countries

This is the latest batch of immigrants to be deported from the US in two years under President Donald Trump leadership

Some 20 Kenyans are among more than 100 people deported from the US over immigration issues. The others are of Somali and Sudanese origin. Police and immigration officials said a private plane carrying the 114 individuals landed at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) Friday morning.
