A chartered aircraft carrying 26 deported Uzbek citizens has touched down at Tashkent International Airport. The arrival of the special flight from the United States was officially confirmed by the Dunyo news agency.

Every passenger on board the plane was formally expelled from the U.S. after being found in violation of American immigration legislation.

The return of the citizens was conducted under a mutually agreed procedural framework between Washington and Tashkent. Organising the complex transatlantic deportation required extensive collaboration across several government departments.

The joint operation involved the Uzbek Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and local migration agencies working in close tandem with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.

Before the flight departed, authorities from both countries cooperated to accurately verify the identity of each citizen and process all the necessary legal paperwork. Strict security protocols were also enforced to ensure the safe transportation of the deportees.

Officials noted that every single phase of the repatriation process was carefully managed through this established bilateral partnership.
