3,059 Indians Arrested While Trying to Illegally Enter US from Canada in September

In September of this year, 8,076 people from India were caught by the United States' law enforcement while trying to enter the country illegally. They used various ways to do this.

Out of these, 3,059 people were caught while trying to cross from Canada into the United States. This is the highest number of such arrests in a single month between October 2022 and September 2023.

A source mentioned that many of these people, who are trying to enter the US illegally, are originally from Gujarat in India. Some have already settled in Canada, while others are waiting for a chance to enter the US. In August, 2,327 people were caught trying to cross into the US, and this number went up to 3,059 in September.

Among those arrested, there were four children who were alone, four more children who were with their family members, and 530 children with their parents and siblings. Additionally, 2,521 adults were arrested.

Usually, Indians trying to enter the US illegally do it by crossing the US-Mexico border. According to official records, from February 2019 to March this year, a total of 1.9 lakh (190,000) Indians were arrested by US law enforcement agencies.

Despite many tragic incidents where families lost their lives during these dangerous journeys, attempts by Indians to illegally migrate to the US continue. For example, a family of four from Gujarat froze to death in January 2022 when they tried to enter the US illegally through the US-Canada border. Another family from Gujarat drowned in the St. Lawrence River in April this year while attempting to immigrate to the US unlawfully.
