The U.S. conducted its first large deportation flight of Chinese nationals since 2018, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said. The department added that it's working with authorities in Beijing to carry out more such flights as the amount of citizens who attempt to enter the country unlawfully has increased significantly over the past years.
"We will continue to enforce our immigration laws and remove individuals without a legal basis to remain in the United States. People should not believe the lies of smugglers," said DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas in a statement.
