YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Samuel Kangethe has lived in the U.S. for nearly two decades, but an unresolved immigration case has made him deportable. He's decided to return to Kenya, leaving his wife and three children behind.

The Trump administration has given an ultimatum to immigrants without a legal status: leave voluntarily or you will be detained and deported.

Kangethe is one of thousands of migrants to heed President Trump's call to self-deport.
