US authorities quietly resume deportations to Russia

For the first time since the beginning of the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine, the USA resumed the deportation of Russians, in particular those who fled from mobilization. SIA refers to The Guardian's report on the issue.

According to the publication, a few days ago, a man who escaped from mobilization and tried to get asylum was sent to Russia from the USA. He reportedly came to the States from Mexico.

According to the lawyer, the migration authorities, which considered the Russianʼs request, came to the conclusion that the threat of being sent to war is not a sufficient reason for granting asylum. Similar decisions were made in respect of three more fugitives from Russia, but they are now awaiting an appeal.

The Guardian notes that it is unclear when deportations will resume in general. Officially, the migration service only confirmed to the publication that they are now sending Russian citizens to their homeland.

News of resumed deportations to Russia came just over a year after reports that the Biden administration had suspended deportation flights to Russia, Ukraine and seven other countries in Europe during Russia’s attack on Ukraine. It is unclear when deportations to Russia resumed. The White House did not respond to a request for comment.
