18,000 Indians Living Illegally in the US May Face Deportation

Around 18,000 Indians living illegally in the US may be deported, according to a Bloomberg report. These individuals do not have US citizenship and lack the proper documentation to obtain citizenship there.

Last month, the US government agency responsible for handling illegal immigration, ICE, compiled a list of approximately 1.5 million people residing illegally in the country. The 18,000 Indians are included in this list.

The report indicates that the Indian government is prepared to collaborate with the US administration to identify its citizens living illegally in the country and facilitate their return. It also states that India is keen to ensure that the issue of illegal immigration does not affect programs such as H-1B visas and student visas.
