The Biden-Harris administration recently deported an unknown number of Indian nationals illegally in the country on a large charter removal flight to the Republic of India, the Department of Homeland Security confirmed. Officials said the flight left on Oct. 22, one week after the department conducted a chartered flight removing Chinese nationals.
“Indian nationals without a legal basis to remain in the United States are subject to swift removal, and intending migrants should not fall for the lies of smugglers who proclaim otherwise,” said Kristie Canegallo, acting DHS deputy secretary.
