Indian illegal immigration to the United States has plunged sharply by 77% in the first 9 months of the Trump administration, according to data released by the US Customs and Border Protection agency reviewed by HT.

Between January to September 2024, US border agencies reported 66,524 border encounters with illegal Indian migrations. However, that number fell to just 15,551 encounters during the same time period this year.

Migration experts told HT that the Trump administration's refusal to grant asylum to illegal migrants has deterred tens of thousands from making the expensive and hazardous journey from India to America.

The Trump administration's high-profile immigration crackdowns and well-publicised deportations of illegal migrants have also sent a message. Meanwhile, the Trump administration has placed significant diplomatic pressure on Canada, Mexico and a number of Central American countries to restrict illegal migrants from reaching the United States.
