TRUMP’S WORST OF WORST LIST: See Names of Ugandans Set to be Deported from US Over Crimes

At least 6 Ugandans face deportation from the United States after being classified by Homeland Security as the worst of the worst criminal aliens.

The Department of Homeland Security said the individuals were arrested across the United States following convictions for crimes including assault, sexual exploitation, fraud and flight to avoid prosecution, among others.
The listings are part of a wider enforcement push targeting foreign nationals with serious criminal records.

They were separately picked from different states by the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) team.
“Under Secretary [Kristi] Noem’s leadership, the hardworking men and women of DHS and ICE are fulfilling President Trump’s promise and carrying out mass deportations – starting with the worst of the worst – including the illegal aliens you see here,” the US Department of Homeland Security said in a statement on their website.

The Ugandan nationals listed by DHS are: Hannington Mutenga, arrested in Salt Lake City, Utah following a conviction for assault; Kiwana Mukiibi, arrested in San Diego, California after convictions for aggravated assault with a weapon and assault; Adrian Kawuba, who was convicted of wire fraud following his arrest in White Deer, Pennsylvania and Winner Mangeni, who was convicted of assault and flight to avoid prosecution, confinement following his arrest in Lowell, Massachusetts following convictions for assault and fleeing from justice;

Others are Derrick Sserwanja, who was convicted of sexual exploitation of a minor via telecommunications following his arrest in Fort Snelling, Minnesota and Daudah Mayanja, who was convicted of sex assault following his arrest in Bennington, Vermont.

An arrest by ICE does not automatically result in deportation. Individuals are typically held in immigration custody while authorities determine whether they should be removed from the United States—a process that can involve immigration court proceedings and appeals.

During his second term, President Donald Trump has implemented a “maximalist” immigration strategy aimed at executing the largest mass deportation operation in US history.

Signed on January 20, 2025, the executive order revoked former US president Joe Biden-era enforcement priorities and directed agencies to use “all lawful means” to deport any removable noncitizen.

The US Supreme Court ruled in June 2025 that the administration could deport migrants to “third countries” (nations other than their homeland) with minimal notice. Bilateral deals were signed with countries like Uganda, Honduras, and El Salvador to accept such deportees.

DHS reported over 675,000 deportations and 2.2 million “self-deportations” in 2025, though independent groups like the Brookings Institution estimate lower figures (310,000 formal deportations).

Uganda’s State minister for Foreign Affairs, Mr Henry Oryem Okello, told this publication last year that there were “over one million” Ugandans living in the US, with most of them having regularised their status, and are more or less Americans with Green Cards.

He, however, defended President Trump, saying what he was doing is in the interest of his county.

“Every president does what is in his interests, and what President Trump has done is in the interest of the people of America and in line with international standing positions. If you are an illegal immigrant in Uganda, what are you doing here? Every country doesn’t welcome illegal immigrants; so, what Mr Trump is doing is what a sensible President would do,” said Mr Oryem.
