During a parliamentary session, S Jaishankar disclosed that 414 Indians had been sent back from the United States by the end of March 2026. Official figures show a steep rise in deportations, moving from 617 in 2023 to 1,368 in 2024, and reaching 2,025 the following year. The data highlights a three-fold increase over a two-year span.

Why it matters

The sharp rise in U.S. deportations affects thousands of Indian families and may strain Indo-U.S. relations.
