Summary:
Around 40 Nepalis deported from the United States are set to arrive in Kathmandu today, June 8, 2025. The chartered flight carrying the deportees is scheduled to land at Tribhuvan International Airport at approximately 4:15 pm. Since US President Donald Trump began his second term, a total of 140 Nepalis have been deported from the US, according to Nepali immigration officials.

The deportations are part of a strict crackdown on undocumented immigrants initiated by the Trump administration starting January 22, 2025. Many of the deported individuals reportedly entered the US illegally by crossing through up to 12 different countries. The US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency continues to detain undocumented migrants and those with final deportation orders.

The annual number of Nepalis deported from the US has been increasing, with 38 in 2021, 24 in 2022, 25 in 2023, and rising sharply to 53 in 2024. The deportees are being processed by Nepal’s immigration authorities upon arrival.
