India Reports 4,800+ Indians Deported from U.S. Since 2025
India says that more than 4,800 of its citizens have been sent back from the United States since 2025.
The U.S. has tightened rules to stop illegal immigration, which has led to many deportations.
India is worried that some deportees were treated badly, like being handcuffed or chained.
The Indian government is working with the U.S. to make sure deportees are treated fairly and that their identity is confirmed before they are sent home.
India also wants to keep talking with the U.S. about other issues, like energy and trade.
India reports 4,840 Indian nationals deported from the U.S. since 2025.
3,567 deportations occurred in 2025 and 1,273 in 2026 (Jan‑July).
India has raised concerns over mistreatment of deportees, citing incidents involving handcuffs and a 73‑year‑old woman.
The Indian Ministry of External Affairs confirms it verifies nationality before accepting deportees.
The U.S. crackdown on illegal immigration began under the Trump administration and continues under the current administration.
