<h1>Over 1,700 Nationals Deported from US to India in 2025; Concerns Raised on Humane Treatment and Procedures</h1> The government reported that 1,703 nationals were deported from the US to India between January and July 2025, with 141 women among them. Over the past five years, 5,541 nationals were deported from the US, and 311 from the UK, with 131 deported from the UK in 2025 so far. Deportations occurred via US military flights, charter flights operated by immigration authorities, Department of Homeland Security flights, and commercial flights. The Ministry of External Affairs has engaged diplomatically with US authorities to ensure humane treatment during deportations, raising concerns about the use of shackles, especially on women and children, and respecting religious and cultural sensitivities. No complaints regarding treatment during deportation flights have been received since February 2025. State-wise data showed most deportees originated from Punjab, Haryana, and Gujarat. The government acknowledged that actual deportation figures might vary due to direct deportations by the UK government and appeals against deportation.
