An Indian national identified as Jashandeep Singh was deported from the United States on August 3, according to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), which named him among five people removed from the country last week over criminal convictions.
According to DHS, Singh was deported to India on August 3. The agency said Singh, a criminal illegal alien from India, was convicted of sexually motivated coercion involving force, burglary, and theft. DHS included Singh in a recent roundup of foreign nationals removed from the United States following criminal convictions.
The department did not share his age, hometown, or details of his immigration history, including when he entered the US or how long he was in ICE custody before removal.
Singh was the only Indian national on the list. The other four deportees were from Guatemala, Mexico, and Chile.

What DHS Said
According to the Department of Homeland Security, Secretary Markwayne Mullin said ICE officers work daily to arrest and remove people the administration considers dangerous. He said last week’s removals included people convicted of killing, drunk driving, sexual assault, and weapons trafficking.
Mullin credited the rise in deportations with what he called a drop in crime rates to “historic lows” nationwide, crediting US President Trump’s leadership for the shift.
