The US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has announced the deportation of 131 people who were illegally in the country. Among them are citizens of Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan.

The operation was carried out with the support of the governments of the countries of origin. Uzbekistan fully covered the cost of the flight for its citizens. The deportation took place within the framework of bilateral cooperation in the field of migration and security.
According to DHS Secretary Alejandro Nuez Barros, such actions are aimed at ‘strengthening the rule of law and cooperation between countries.’

It is noted that the US authorities plan to continue conducting similar operations in cooperation with other countries.
