As many as three lakh Indian-Americans are likely to be affected by the US President Donald Trump’s revamped anti-immigration policies.

Trump has already laid the groundwork for deporting millions of illegal immigrants, who are being referred to as Aliens, by reforming the ways in which the federal immigration laws are enforced.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has recently issued enforcement memos to this effect. As per these memos, DHS personnel have full authority to apprehend an alien whom an officer finds doubtful of violating the immigration laws unless the alien is an unaccompanied minor or has a fear of persecution in their home country.

As per unofficial figures, of the nation’s 11 million undocumented immigrants, 300,000 are Indian-Americans, all of whom are fearing of forcibly getting deported back to India.
