US officials may deport up to 18,000 illegal Indian immigrants following President Trump's midterm defeat. H-1B visa registrations in India dropped from 1.72 lakh to 1.06 lakh this year.

In 2025, 3,567 Indians were deported - the highest number in 15 years - and by June of this year, 1,076 Indians had already been deported.

Reports point to a rise in anti-Indian hate crimes, with some sources citing an increase of up to 240% attributed to MAGA White extremists. Social media data shows a 240% spike in anti-India posts between January 2024 and June 2026 - 12,904 posts in January 2024 and 43,843 by June 2026.

Trump supporters have been seen carrying posters reading 'Throw all Indians out of the country', while some protesters claim that Hindus helped Democrats win in Texas.

Jack Lang, a supporter of President Trump linked to a 'White Replacement' organisation, was among those who attacked the US Capitol on 6 January 2021.
