The Malaysians are among the 1.44 million individuals served with deportation orders who are presently on ICE’s non-detention docket, according to Harian Metro, which cited data from ICE’s enforcement and removal operations dashboard.
Following Donald Trump’s election to a second term as US president, they received deportation orders.
Foreigners served with the orders are still eligible to apply for asylum in the United States under the UN Convention against Torture or as refugees, according to ICE.
Washington continues to urge home nations to welcome the repatriation of their citizens, though.
“A lack of cooperation from foreign governments delays and, in most cases, obstructs the deportation process,” said ICE.
Additionally, it asked other governments to swiftly issue travel documents for these persons and verify their citizenship. The country can be labeled as “uncooperative” or “at risk of being incompliant” if it does not comply.
There are currently 15 countries on the list of noncompliant countries, including China, India, and Pakistan, while 11 more, including Vietnam and Iraq, are considered to be in danger of noncompliance.
During Joe Biden’s presidency, Republicans claimed that millions of immigrants had entered the nation illegally, necessitating mass deportations from the US.
