Washington, USA: President Donald Trump’s administration continues its efforts to crack down on illegal immigration, fulfilling a key campaign promise. However, these actions have sparked significant protests, particularly from Sikh communities, in response to raids targeting places of worship such as gurdwaras in New York and New Jersey. Authorities are conducting these inspections as part of their broader immigration enforcement strategy.

Sikh organizations have strongly condemned the searches, arguing that such operations disrespect the sanctity of their religious sites. The Trump administration has already detained hundreds of undocumented immigrants across the country, prompting concerns about the impact of these measures on sacred spaces like gurdwaras.

According to officials, those apprehended are reportedly involved in cases related to terrorism, drug trafficking, and sexual offenses. Since taking office, Trump has overseen one of the largest deportation campaigns in U.S. history, intensifying efforts to remove undocumented individuals.

The White House confirmed that hundreds of illegal immigrants have been deported using military aircraft. Meanwhile, the Indian government has stated its opposition to illegal immigration, citing its connection to organized crime.
