The Department of Homeland Security says it has deported 116 Chinese migrants from the United States in the first “large charter flight” in five years. The agency says that the flight happened over the weekend. DHS didn't respond to questions about how long the migrants had been in the U.S.
Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas attends a briefing on the 2024 hurricane and wildfire outlook at the headquarters of the Federal Emergency Management Agency on Friday, June 21, 2024, in Washington. “We will continue to enforce our immigration laws and remove individuals without a legal basis to remain in the United States ,” Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said in a statement.
In recent years, the United States has had a difficult time returning Chinese nationals who do not have the right to stay in America because China has resisted taking them back. Last year, the United States saw a drastic surge in the number of Chinese immigrants entering the country illegally from Mexico.
