Before Trump's Beijing visit, US warns China with visa sanctions over stalled deportations of migrants: Report
The US is warning China that it will impose visa sanctions if it doesn't increase cooperation on deporting Chinese nationals who are in the US illegally, with over 100,000 undocumented Chinese nationals currently in the US. The issue is expected to be raised during President Trump's upcoming visit to Beijing.
The US is threatening to impose visa sanctions on China if it doesn't increase cooperation on deporting Chinese nationals who are in the US illegally. A senior Trump administration official told Reuters that China has slowed its efforts to repatriate its citizens, with only about 3,000 deportees accepted via charter and commercial flights in early 2025. The US wants Beijing to provide travel documents and approve Customs and Border Protection charter flights with deportees. There are over 100,000 undocumented Chinese nationals in the US, with more than 30,000 having final orders of removal. The issue is expected to be raised during President Trump's May 14-15 visit to Beijing. The US can place visa sanctions on countries deemed 'recalcitrant' under Section 243(d) of the Immigration and Nationality Act.
