The U.S. conducted its second charter removal flight of undocumented Chinese immigrants to the People's Republic of China (PRC) this year. The first large charter removal flight since 2018 took place in June.

Per a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) press release, U.S. authorities worked closely with the PRC National Immigration Administration to make the flight happen, and both countries plan to continue their efforts.
