The United States has deported 39 more Bangladeshi nationals, who arrived in Dhaka early Friday on a special military flight. According to BRAC’s Migration Program, 34 of them had initially traveled legally to Brazil with Bureau of Manpower, Employment and Training (BMET) clearance before entering the US illegally via Mexico, while the remaining five reached the US through other routes. This brings the total number of Bangladeshis deported from the US this year to over 220. BRAC officials raised concerns about the accountability of recruitment agencies and government oversight, as many migrants spent large sums to reach the US. Unlike previous deportations, the returnees were not restrained during the flight. The deportations come amid tougher immigration enforcement under Donald Trump’s second presidential term, with the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) increasingly using chartered and military flights to repatriate undocumented migrants after legal proceedings.
