The United States government is repatriating a group of Bangladeshi citizens detained for illegally residing in the country. They are scheduled to arrive in Dhaka on Saturday, August 2, aboard a U.S. military aircraft.
A Bangladeshi diplomat confirmed that since the administration of President Donald Trump took office, individuals from various countries found to be residing illegally have been deported. Bangladesh has also seen monthly repatriations. However, uncertainty remains regarding the exact number of individuals in the group arriving tomorrow.
The diplomat added that not all detained individuals are repatriated at once. The process involves verifying identities and citizenship in collaboration with the Bangladeshi government. Previously, although 83 people were reported to be sent back in one instance, only about two dozen arrived.
The Bangladesh Mission in Washington has informed the Ministry of Home Affairs and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Dhaka that a U.S. military aircraft carrying the group is expected to land at Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport on Saturday morning.
According to a mission official, individuals with valid passports are repatriated quickly. Those with expired passports are issued a one-way Travel Permit (TP) by the Bangladesh Mission. For those without passports, national ID cards, or other identification documents, citizenship is verified through the Ministry of Home Affairs before a TP is issued.
