The last deportation flight to China before 2024 was in 2018.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) deported a group of Chinese nationals last week on its second charter flight to China this year. The previous flight was conducted this summer. Prior to this year, the department sent out its last charter flight to China in 2018. The department conducted this operation in collaboration with the Chinese government, saying that both countries are dedicated to deterring “irregular migration.”
“Intending migrants should not believe the lies of smugglers – Chinese nationals without a legal basis to remain in the United States are subject to swift removal,” said Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. “The Department of Homeland Security will continue to strengthen consequences for individuals unlawfully entering our country and enforce our nation’s laws.”
As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…
- For Secretary Mayorkas to seek God’s guidance as he heads the Homeland Security Department.
- For DHS officials to be discerning as they determine who will be granted asylum in the U.S.
