The star of “90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After?”, Michael Ilesanmi, is optimistic about avoiding deportation to Nigeria, despite Angela Deem’s attempts to have him sent back. Angela was distraught over Michael’s disappearance in February 2024, only to discover that he had fled due to fears for his safety. Since his arrival in the United States in December 2024, Angela has made Michael’s life difficult. Seizing an opportunity, Michael escaped to Texas shortly after completing the Tell All segment with Angela. Now, Angela, infuriated, accuses Michael of deceiving her.
Michael has been receiving legal advice from supporters online, which he openly shares on Instagram.
Recently, Michael shared a segment from a video titled “Navigating Immigration in the United States,” aimed at those wanting him deported. A legal expert in the video clarifies that no one can revoke Michael’s residency card, as it belongs to him as an immigrant in the U.S. “You do not have to stay in the marriage to retain that residency card,” the expert explained, emphasizing that “Dred Scott’s no longer valid and slavery is not allowed in the United States,” a statement that was met with applause from the audience.
Can Angela Deem’s Efforts to Deport Michael Ilesanmi Be Thwarted?
Michael’s Determination to Remain in the U.S.
Angela is striving to demonstrate that Michael tricked her into a sham marriage to secure permanent residency in the U.S. She seeks annulment of their marriage to facilitate his deportation. However, Michael entered the U.S. legally through a spousal visa application filed by Angela. She had ample opportunity to cancel it during their four-year marriage, as the visa approval process was lengthy. As long as his visa remains valid, Michael is entitled to stay in America.
Michael has also accused Angela of both physical and mental abuse. Years of footage from “90 Day Fiancé” document Angela’s treatment of Michael, even while being filmed. Angela cannot claim Michael is fabricating these allegations, as viewers have witnessed her behavior. Furthermore, a private investigator hired by Angela found no evidence of Michael being a scammer or adulterer. Michael possesses several means to prove his innocence, allowing him to seek a divorce and continue living in the U.S. as a citizen, while Angela is left regretting their time together.

Angela has also lost public sympathy due to her inability to prove Michael is a fraud. Viewers of “90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After?” have rallied to raise over $50,000 for Michael, a man they know only through television. Fans are eager to see Michael succeed and gain citizenship after enduring so much with Angela. Michael is determined not to disappoint his supporters and plans to use the money wisely, contrary to Angela’s accusations of extravagant spending.
“90 Day Fiancé: Before The 90 Days” airs Sundays at 8 p.m. EDT on TLC.
