President Donald Trump has geared up to expel illegal immigrants from America. The Trump administration has started deporting illegal immigrants to their country.
American officials searched the gurdwara
It is feared that more than 18000 Indians living illegally in America will be sent back to India. Meanwhile, law enforcement officers in New York and New Jersey went to the Gurudwara in search of illegal immigrants. Sikh organizations have expressed their displeasure over this incident. Sikh organizations called such action a threat to the sanctity of their faith.
Sikh community expressed concern
The Sikh American Legal Defense and Education Fund has expressed concern over this incident. SALDF Executive Director Kiran Kaur Gill said that gurdwaras are not just places of worship, but they are also important community centers that help Sikhs and the wider community. Searches at these places put the sanctity of our faith at risk. Such incidents raise concerns among the Sikh community across the country.
What does the Trump administration say?
It is believed that some gurdwaras in New York and New Jersey are used by illegal immigrants living in the US. A spokesperson of the US Department of Homeland Security informed that CBP and ICE officials are looking for accused murderers and sexual assaulters who have entered our country illegally. To avoid arrest, the criminals are hiding in schools and churches.
Other countries should support us in the matter of illegal immigrants: America
Recently, US House of Representatives Speaker Mike Johnson has warned that the US Congress is ready to impose sanctions on countries that refuse to cooperate with the Trump administration's order on the deportation of undocumented immigrants.
Mike Johnson further said, "Colombia and all countries should be vigilant, Congress is fully prepared to pass sanctions and other measures against those who do not fully cooperate or comply with requirements to accept their citizens living illegally in the United States."
"President Trump is putting America first, just as he said. Congress will enact policies that strengthen his agenda," he said.
What is India's stand?
The Indian Foreign Ministry said that if the nationality of illegal migrants is confirmed, India will take them back. New Delhi is against illegal immigration 'because it is linked to many forms of organized crime.
