Aasis Subedi, a Bhutanese Nepali refugee, finds himself stateless again after being deported from the US to Bhutan, a country he had never seen. Following his deportation, Bhutanese authorities rejected him and others, leading them back to a refugee camp in Nepal. Subedi's situation underscores the challenges faced by over 100,000 Bhutanese Nepalis, who were stripped of citizenship rights decades ago and highlights the implications of US immigration policies under the Trump administration, which have adversely affected this community's safety and well-being.
Aasis Subedi and other Bhutanese Nepali refugees face deportation from the US back to Bhutan, where they are rejected and returned to refugee camps in Nepal.
In a cruel twist, after deportation to Bhutan, Aasis Subedi was expelled back to India and found refuge in a camp in Nepal.
Subedi's case illustrates the challenges faced by Bhutanese Nepalis who, due to past ethnic cleansing, are navigating a painful cycle of statelessness.
Despite being a legal permanent resident, Subedi's deportation epitomizes the severe impacts of the US immigration policies under the Trump administration.
