The United States has witnessed a sharp decline in the number of Indian nationals caught crossing illegally, reaching the lowest figures in four years. U.S. Customs and Border Protection recorded 1,628 arrests in February 2025, a steep drop from 3,132 in January and over 5,600 in December 2024. This decline is attributed to President Donald Trump’s stricter immigration policies and intensified border enforcement. The crackdown has also led to a reduction in smuggling operations, while undocumented Indian immigrants in the U.S. are avoiding travel to minimize detention risks. Authorities expect the trend to continue under ongoing enforcement measures. (PC: The Week)
