Ghanaian journalist and outspoken commentator Kevin Taylor has once again sparked controversy with his strong stance on deporting social media influencers Twene Jonas and Young Don. In a recent statement, Taylor claimed that certain individuals living abroad would be sent back to Ghana before the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
A Firm Warning
During his show, Taylor passionately stated that figures like Twene Jonas and Young Don, known for their frequent criticisms of the Ghanaian government while residing in the United States, could soon face deportation. He argued that their presence abroad was not guaranteed, particularly if they had legal complications regarding their immigration status.
"Some people will go home before the 2026 World Cup," Taylor asserted, hinting that steps were being taken to ensure their return. His remarks have ignited debates, drawing both support and opposition.
Targeting Online Government Critics
Twene Jonas and Young Don have built massive online audiences by openly denouncing Ghanaian leadership, corruption, and economic challenges. Twene Jonas, in particular, is known for his relentless criticism of government officials, often contrasting Ghana’s progress with that of the U.S. Young Don has similarly voiced his discontent with the nation’s leadership.
Taylor, also known for his bold political statements, appears to be leading efforts against these influencers. He contends that their form of activism is unpatriotic and that their criticisms are often exaggerated or misleading.
Legal Considerations
While Taylor did not disclose how he intends to push for their deportation, U.S. immigration laws are strict regarding visa overstays and legal violations. If Twene Jonas and Young Don have any unresolved immigration issues, they could face removal from the country, as Taylor has suggested.
Supporters of the influencers argue that their activism is crucial for holding leaders accountable and view any attempts to deport them as efforts to suppress dissent.
Public Reaction
Taylor’s comments have sparked heated discussions on social media. While some believe that Twene Jonas and Young Don have gone too far in their criticisms, others see their voices as vital in advocating for change.
With the 2026 World Cup on the horizon, it remains to be seen whether Taylor’s prediction will materialize or if Twene Jonas and Young Don will continue their activism from abroad.
