{ "title": "Saudi Arabia Surpasses US in Indian Deportations, Reveals Shocking Data | Immigration Crisis", "article": "In a surprising revelation, Saudi Arabia has emerged as the country that deported the most Indians in the past five years, according to official government data. The data, tabled in the Indian parliament, shows that a staggering 7,019 Indians were deported from Saudi Arabia in 2025 alone. This number surpasses the United States, which deported 3,414 Indians in the same year. The trend of Indian deportations from Saudi Arabia has been steadily increasing over the years, with 8,887, 10,277, 11,486, and 9,206 Indians being deported in 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024, respectively. In contrast, the US has seen a relatively lower number of Indian deportations, with 805, 862, 617, 1,368, and 3,414 Indians being deported in the same years. According to the Indian government's data, the reasons for Indian deportations include overstaying beyond the permitted visa or residency period, working without a valid work permit, violating labor regulations, leaving an employer without notice, and being involved in civil or criminal cases. The data also highlights the challenges faced by Indian missions in obtaining information on the detention and deportation of Indians abroad. The Indian government's written reply to a question in parliament noted that information on arrest, detention, and deportation is not usually shared with Indian missions, except in cases where nationality verification and the issuance of an Emergency Certificate (EC) to the deportee are required."
