Nigerian man convicted of fighting ICE officers during deportation attempt
ALEXANDRIA, La. — A Nigerian man illegally present in the United States was convicted in federal court Tuesday of obstructing his removal from the country by fighting U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) officers during an attempt to place him aboard a removal flight to his home country.
According to court documents, Emmanuel Nwankwo, 54, began yelling and physically resisted ICE officers who were attempting to place him aboard a commercial flight at the Alexandria International Airport Dec. 11. Due to Nwankwo's actions, which violated Transportation Security Administration and airline policies, he was prevented from boarding the flight.

Nwankwo faces a maximum penalty of four years in federal prison, a $250,000 fine and one year of supervised release. His sentencing is scheduled for Aug. 13. Nwankwo was originally encountered by ICE in October 2009 and an appeal of his removal order was rejected by the Board of Immigration Appeals in January 2011. Nwankwo still faces removal from the United States upon the completion of his prison term.
