The article highlights the growing anxiety among Indian families regarding the immigration policies of the United States, particularly following President Trump's commitment to crack down on illegal immigration. As the third-largest group of undocumented immigrants in the U.S., many Indians face uncertainty over their relatives' safety and status. With over 700,000 undocumented Indians living in the U.S. as of 2022, there are rising concerns back home in India, particularly in Gujarat, where families are turning to religious offerings for protection during this politically charged climate of mass deportations and heightened border security.
Families in India are increasingly worried about the safety of their relatives who migrate to the United States, especially amidst threats of deportation under the Trump administration.
The unease is palpable as many Indians interact with the diaspora, some fleeing political instability while others seek better economic opportunities.
