One of the deportees shared his experience.

“After losing my luggage, I spontaneously flew to Madrid. The ticket in this city was lost, and within 14 days 400 Uzbeks were in an absolutely powerless situation in Madrid. From there we were deported to Turkey,” he said.

They later came to Guatemala and made two unsuccessful attempts to enter the United States. The man spent two days in an immigration center.

“We walked for 3 days with Venezuelan citizens. We had to run, we even saw dead people and so on. I don’t recommend it, America is just advertising,” he concluded.

He spent $10 on the entire trip and returned home without being able to find a job.

“Leaving home in July, I arrived in the States in August. We returned with absolutely no money. My advice to those who are going there is don’t go. It's just advertising. The only thing you will earn is illness. “It’s all a lie,” he assured.

National Security Threat

In 2023, the Transactional Record Analysis Center reported that 17 illegal immigrants from Uzbekistan entered the United States. In addition, 40 Central Asians, including 000 citizens of Kyrgyzstan, 7 of Tajikistan, 000 of Kazakhstan, and 3 citizens of Turkmenistan, are currently awaiting a court decision on their asylum claims.

Montana Senator Steve Daines said 50 illegal immigrants from Central Asia crossed into the United States last year. US authorities have expressed concern that these migrants could potentially be part of "sleeper cells of terrorist organizations" and pose a threat to national security.

Between 2021 and 2023, tens of thousands of immigrants, classified by the US government as "special interest persons", attempted to enter the US illegally through Mexico. More than 13 thousand of those arrested are citizens of Uzbekistan, reports Radio Liberty.
