New Delhi: The news coming from Washington DC are not good for Indians who have migrated to the United States as President-elect Donald Trump has intensified immigration enforcement.
The US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has reported that nearly 18,000 undocumented Indians are among 1.45 million people who are facing deportation.
President-elect Donald Trump will take the office on January 20, 2025. His administration has already escalated efforts to enforce stricter immigration policies.
According to the data released by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), nearly 18,000 undocumented Indians are among the 1.45 million individuals facing deportation from the United States.
“Deportation of undocumented immigrants is central to Trump’s border security agenda,” said ICE.
ICE data published in November 2024 cites that 17,940 Indians are listed on the agency’s non-detained docket. This includes individuals with final orders of removal who are not in ICE custody but are awaiting deportation. Many undocumented Indians have found themselves entangled in a complex and lengthy legal process, with some waiting up to three years for their cases to be heard.
Earlier on December 11, Trump had announced that he would end the birth right citizenship which gives citizenship to anyone born in the United States. If implemented, this would affect about 4.8 million Indian-Americans living in the United States.
Of these 4.8 million Indian-Americans, 1.6 million of them are born in the USA and Donald Trump cancels the birth right citizenship rule, these individuals would no longer have proof of citizenship. These figures were released by Pew Research.
The plan to abolish birthright citizenship could have significant consequences for millions of Indians residing in the United States.
