The US Embassy in India has issued a stern warning to Indian nationals, stating that those who migrate to the US illegally will face “significant criminal penalties”.
This warning comes amid strained relations between Washington and New Delhi, largely due to American President Donald Trump’s 50% tariffs on Indian goods and India’s concerns over US engagement with Pakistan.The embassy’s post on X emphasized the Trump administration’s commitment to ending illegal immigration and protecting United States borders and citizens.
Notably, this warning is specific to India, with no similar advisories issued by the United States State Department or missions in Pakistan, Afghanistan, Syria, Myanmar, or China.
Trump’s administration has been actively cracking down on illegal immigration, with mass deportations and stricter visa policies.
