The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has deported 116 Chinese nationals back to China on a large charter flight over the weekend, marking the first such operation since 2018. This move comes amid a surge in Chinese migrants entering the U.S. through the southern border in recent years, with 31,077 Chinese nationals apprehended since October. The deportation was part of a broader effort to manage illegal immigration and was conducted in cooperation with Chinese authorities.
