Trump’s immigration plans could impact 300,000 Indian-Americans

Nearly 300,000 Indian-Americans are likely to be impacted by the Donald Trump administration’s sweeping plans that put the nation’s 11 million undocumented immigrants at risk of deportation.

President Trump has laid the groundwork for potentially deporting millions of undocumented immigrants by issuing new guidance that drastically broadens the ways in which federal immigration laws should be enforced.


“The department no longer will exempt classes or categories of removable aliens from potential enforcement,” the department of homeland security (DHS) said in an enforcement memo.

“Department personnel have full authority to arrest or apprehend an alien whom an immigration officer has probable cause to believe is in violation of the immigration laws,” it said.

The department of homeland security has issued two enforcement memos, which among other things, tighten deportation of illegal immigrants.

The emphasis is on criminal immigrants, though, but opens up the door for others too.

Indian-Americans as per unofficial figures account for nearly 300,000 illegal immigrants.

According to the memo, the DHS secretary has the authority to apply expedited removal provisions to immigrants who have not been admitted or paroled into the US, who are inadmissible, and who have not been continuously physically present in the US for the two-year period immediately prior to the determination of their inadmissibility, so that such immigrants are immediately removed unless the alien is an unaccompanied minor, intends to apply for asylum or has a fear of persecution or torture in their home country, or claims to have lawful immigration status.

The memorandum said when illegal immigrants apprehended do not pose a risk of a subsequent illegal entry, returning them to the foreign contiguous territory from which they arrived, pending the outcome of removal proceedings, saves the government detention and adjudication resources for other priority immigrants.
