Today, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), led by Secretary Noem, collaborated with Uzbekistan's government to deport over 100 individuals from Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, and Kyrgyzstan. Uzbekistan financed the deportation of its citizens, demonstrating the security cooperation between the two nations.
"We commend Uzbekistan President Shavkat Mirziyoyev for his leadership in sending a flight to return 131 illegal aliens back to their home country," Secretary Noem stated. "We look forward to continuing to work together with Uzbekistan on efforts to enhance our mutual security and uphold the rule of law."
This partnership is part of a series of bilateral agreements under President Trump's administration. The administration previously engaged Colombia to accept U.S.-removed migrants, partnered with El Salvador to address illegal activity, and worked with Mexico to combat drug cartels, leading to record arrests.
These efforts are aligned with President Trump's vision of diplomatic cooperation and immigration enforcement.
