10,300 Indian illegal immigrants caught at US border in 2025. That's a 70% dip
Over 10,300 Indian nationals, including 30 unaccompanied minors, were caught entering the US illegally between January and May 2025. This marks a 70% drop from last year, attributed to tougher immigration enforcement under President Donald Trump. Overall, nearly 6 lakh illegal immigrants have been apprehended at the US border so far this year.
