India confirms 2,273 deportations from US; defends energy security amid US Senate sanctions bill
India is facing growing pressure from the United States on two fronts - immigration and energy. The Ministry of External Affairs says 2,273 Indian nationals have been deported from the US so far in 2026, compared with 3,567 in 2025. At the same time, India is closely tracking a proposed US sanctions bill that could allow tariffs of up to 100% on countries continuing to import Russian energy.
