US Ambassador to Uzbekistan Jonathan Henick has called on illegal migrants from Uzbekistan to return home voluntarily and avoid waiting for deportation. The statement was published by the US Embassy in Uzbekistan.
Henick stated that thousands of illegal migrants from Uzbekistan could currently be in the United States. He reminded them that they could face arrest, detention in immigration jails, and eventual deportation.
In February 2025, it was revealed that deported migrants from the US would temporarily be sent to Panama and Costa Rica.
