Porsha Williams's estranged husband deported back to Nigeria after ICE detainment
's estranged husband Simon Guobadia has been deported back to Nigeria after a four-month ICE detainment. has confirmed that the 61-year-old ex of The Real Housewives Of Atlanta star, 43, was released from the U.S. Immigration And Customs Enforcement's custody and sent back to his home country. Guobadia is also no longer listed on the system of the U.S. Department Of Homeland Security. has reached out to representatives of Williams and Guobadia. His friend Tai Savat told Us Weekly that Guobadia was sent back on a flight home to Nigeria a couple of days ago and was in 'good spirits' despite the tough experience of four months at the detention center - which was the first time he was ever imprisoned. Amid the ongoing immigration protests in Los Angeles, Savet said that Guobadia is not mad at President Donald Trump and would actually like a sit-down meeting with him. In February, Porsha broke her silence after her estranged husband was detained by U.S. Immigration And Customs Enforcement (ICE). The entrepreneur was being held at Stewart Detention Center in Lumpkin, Georgia, at the time, according Us Weekly. His status was listed as 'in ICE custody,' according to U.S. Department Of Homeland Security's records. Amid the news in February, the TV star - who's going through a contentious divorce from Guobadia - took to her Instagram to reflect on the situation. She wrote: 'It's disheartening to see my estranged husband make choices that have led to this outcome. At this moment, my priority is moving forward with my family.' Guobadia, who immigrated from Nigeria to the U.S. in 1982, allegedly overstayed his visa and was declared deportable in 1985. He subsequently returned to the U.S. in 1986 and once more overstayed his work visa. It came amid Trump 's order for massive deportations of illegal migrants, which he signed off on earlier this year. The order allows for the deportation of undocumented immigrants to their countries of origin. Guobadia, who pleaded guilty to fraud in 1987 and was deported in 1992 after two more arrests, returned to the U.S. a month later. His 2016 naturalization attempt was denied. In 2024, the Atlanta Black Star reported that he had been repeatedly denied residency. Porsha filed for divorce last year after just 15 months of marriage. The couple wed in November 2022 after getting engaged in May 2021. Their divorce is still ongoing.
