Twenty Kenyans arrived at Nairobi's Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) on Friday morning after being deported from the US.
These were among other 114 deportees at JKIA, who included Somalis and Sudanese nationals.
Reports indicated that the deportees arrived at the airport aboard a private plane carrying the 114 individuals and landed early Friday morning.

The Omni International Airlines plane was received by police and immigration officials on landing.
The Kenyans were allowed to proceed to their homes, while the 60 Somalis remained in the plane before it took off to Mogadishu.
A Juba Airline plane was used to transport the 24 South Sudanese nationals to their home country.
The latest deportations are linked to various immigration issues including those who had been legally cleared for entry but then overstayed their visas.
There have been several incidents of deportation after the US government under President Donald Trump heightened efforts to curb illegal immigration.
One of Trump's promises during his presidential campaigns was ensuring the repatriation of all foreigners who were in the US illegally.
In 2017, the United States government deported 100 Kenyans marking the beginning of the fulfillment of Trump's promise that saw 2,134 individuals from sub-Saharan countries deported in the year.
