“Trump Deports 435 Malaysians from the U.S. – What’s Really Happening?”

Source: The Vocket

Donald Trump’s administration is once again causing an uproar as over 400 Malaysians are being ordered to leave the United States (U.S.) following a strict crackdown on immigration enforcement.

📢 According to the latest data from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), a total of 435 Malaysians have received a ‘Final Deportation Order’ and are now on a non-detain docket list—awaiting deportation!

This figure places Malaysia somewhere in the middle range compared to other nations affected by the U.S.’s aggressive immigration policies.

What is a Final Deportation Order?

A Final Deportation Order means that individuals receiving this notice have lost all legal rights to remain in the U.S.

However, those affected still have a last chance to fight for their stay, including:

✅ Applying for asylum or protection under the Convention Against Torture (CAT).

✅ Filing a special appeal to delay deportation.

✅ Relying on their home country’s cooperation in verifying travel documents.

If the home country refuses to cooperate, deportation may be delayed or even prevented entirely.

Why Are Malaysians Affected?

💬 According to ICE reports, several key factors contributed to this situation:

1️⃣ The Trump administration’s stricter immigration policies against undocumented migrants.

2️⃣ Cooperation from the home country in facilitating deportation processes.

3️⃣ The U.S. requiring Malaysia to verify the citizenship of affected individuals quickly.

If Malaysia fails to cooperate, it could be classified as a ‘non-cooperative country’, further complicating diplomatic relations with the U.S. on immigration matters.

What is Malaysia’s Next Move?

So far, the Malaysian Ministry of Foreign Affairs has not released any official statement regarding this issue.

Amid speculation, Malaysians hope the government will take proactive steps to protect the rights and welfare of those affected.

Will Malaysia assist them in staying, or will they facilitate their return?
