US Deports Over 100 Chinese Migrants in Second Repatriation Flight of 2024
The Department of Homeland Security underscores its commitment to reducing irregular migration in cooperation with China.
- The recent deportation flight carried 131 Chinese nationals back to China, marking the second large-scale removal this year.
- These deportations are part of a broader effort by the US to deter illegal migration, following a significant increase in Chinese nationals crossing the US-Mexico border.
- Since June, US Border Patrol encounters have decreased by over 55%, coinciding with nearly 400 international repatriation flights.
- The Biden administration's temporary suspension of certain noncitizens entering the southern border has been a key factor in reducing illegal entries.
- Amnesty International has raised concerns about the treatment of Chinese migrants, citing anti-Chinese sentiment and harsh conditions in detention.
