Young Nigerian shows how he avoids ICE
The statement of the man comes amid numerous reports of arrest and deportation of illegal migrants by the ICE agency.
In order to avoid being illegally arrested, deported, or seen as an illegal migrant, he placed his US passport on his forehead and used tape to attach it so it would be visible for any ICE agents to see.
In the video he shared on his page @dotish001, he said:
"Yes, this is how we move around. Before you ask me are you a citizen, where is your passport - you seen my passport already? This is how we move."

He gave further explanation in response to comments on his page, saying:
"The video addresses the current ICE situation in Columbus, Ohio, and in the U.S., where people are being stopped and questioned about their citizenship, and non-citizens risk arrest. That is the purpose."
