An Indian national has been deported from the United States following convictions for sexually motivated coercion involving force, burglary and theft, as the Trump administration intensifies its immigration enforcement campaign targeting people it describes as dangerous criminal aliens.
Jashandeep Singh was deported on Aug. 3, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said in a statement issued Aug. 14.

According to DHS, Singh’s criminal record includes convictions for sexually motivated coercion involving force, burglary and theft. He was deported alongside four other foreign nationals from Guatemala, Mexico and Chile.
The other individuals deported were Guatemalan national Ramon Gregorio Herrera-Ruiz; Mexican nationals Jorge Martinez-Guerrero and Berta Montano Jimenez; and Chilean national Williams Alejandro Cortes Contreras, DHS said.
The deportations come as the Trump administration has made immigration enforcement and the removal of people with criminal records a central priority. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), the agency responsible for immigration enforcement and removal operations, has stepped up arrests and deportations as the administration seeks to expand enforcement against people who are in the country unlawfully.
DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin praised ICE officers involved in the operations and said the administration was focused on removing people it considers a threat to public safety.
“Every day, the brave men and women of Immigration and Customs Enforcement work tirelessly to arrest and remove dangerous illegal aliens from the country,” Mullin said.
“Just last week, we deported killers, drunk drivers, sexual assailants and weapons traffickers. With deportations up, it’s no wonder that crime rates have fallen to historic lows across the country. Thanks to the leadership of President Donald J. Trump, we are making America safe again,” he added.
The administration has repeatedly emphasized the removal of people with criminal convictions as part of its broader immigration agenda.
