Over 3,800 Indians Deported from US in 2025; Higher Numbers from Saudi Arabia and UAE

In 2025, over 3,800 Indian nationals were deported from the United States, with Houston reporting the highest consulate-specific figure. The Indian government informed Parliament that deportations undergo strict nationality verification and maintains dialogue with US authorities to ensure humane treatment, especially concerning restraints on women and children. Additionally, Saudi Arabia and the UAE deported significantly higher numbers of Indians, exceeding 13,000 and 9,500 respectively. Concerns about illegal migration via the 'Dunki route' and investigations into fraudulent recruitment agents were also highlighted.
