The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) of India announced that 1,076 Indian nationals have been deported from the United States in 2026, as part of ongoing efforts to combat illegal migration. This figure follows a significant number of deportations in the previous year, with a total of 3,567 Indians deported from the US in 2025. MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal emphasized the commitment of both countries to address illegal migration while ensuring that legal migration pathways are not adversely affected. He noted that discussions are ongoing between India and the US regarding migration and mobility, highlighting the importance of collaboration in tackling these issues. The deportations are taking place against the backdrop of the Trump administration's stringent policies aimed at curbing illegal immigration, which have led to increased scrutiny and enforcement actions against undocumented migrants. As both nations continue to engage on these matters, the focus remains on finding effective solutions that balance the need for security with the rights of legal migrants.
