Porsha Williams’ estranged husband Simon Guobadia has been detained by Immigrations and Customs Enforcement.

The Nigerian-born businessman is being held at Stewart Detention Center in Lumpkin, Georgia, according to U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s records obtained by Us Weekly.

The “Real Housewives of Atlanta” star, 43, seemingly responded to the news of Guobadia’s detainment on her Instagram Friday, calling the situation “disheartening” amid their contentious divorce.

“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,” she wrote.

Guobadia was taken into ICE custody amid President Trump’s mass deportation plan, which he signed into effect with several executive orders last month after he returned to the oval office for his second term.

The 60-year-old migrated from Nigeria to the United States in 1982 and allegedly overstayed his visa. He was declared deportable in 1985, per Atlanta’s WSB-TV 2.

Guobadia was arrested in 1987 for bank and credit card fraud. After he was later arrested two additional times, he was deported to Nigeria in 1992. However, he was able to return a month later.

Then, in 2016, the reality TV star applied for citizenship. However, he was denied by the U.S. government because his previous status was “unlawfully granted.”

Guobadia has filed several complaints and appeals in attempts to be declared a naturalized citizen. Though, his efforts have not been successful.

After a month of dating publicly, Guobadia quickly proposed to Williams in May 2021.

Williams and Guobadia then tied the knot in November 2022 with two lavish ceremonies.

In February of last year, however, Williams filed for divorce from Guobadia after just one year of marriage.
