Nearly 50 Vietnamese nationals repatriated following deportation from US
The Ho Chi Minh City Department of Public Security's immigration office announced on Aug. 5 that its task force had coordinated with relevant agencies to receive 47 Vietnamese nationals deported from the U.S.
On December 23, nearly fifty Vietnamese nationals were repatriated to Hanoi after being deported from the United States, marking the largest single group received by Vietnamese authorities this year. The individuals, most of whom resided in Ho Chi Minh City before their departure, were found to have violated U.S. laws during their stay in the country. Upon completion of necessary legal procedures, U.S. authorities transferred the deportees to Vietnam in compliance with bilateral cooperation agreements.
The repatriation process adhered strictly to Vietnamese law while respecting diplomatic obligations, maintaining security, ensuring public order, and safeguarding the rights and legitimate interests of the returnees. For those affected by inadequate living conditions, such as those unable to contact family members, lacking stable accommodation, or facing challenging circumstances like the elderly, health issues, or prolonged separation from family, Vietnamese authorities coordinated with local People's Committees, police, and the municipal Department of Health to provide temporary care and assistance at social welfare facilities.
The Vietnamese Foreign Affairs Office cautioned citizens considering international travel, study, work, or settlement to thoroughly understand and adhere to the laws and regulations of their destination countries. It warned against engaging in illegal entry and exit, unlawful residence or employment, using forged documents, and participating in networks facilitating illegal migration.
Citizens were advised to complete all required legal procedures prior to departing Vietnam and maintain regular communication with Vietnamese diplomatic missions in their host countries to ensure continued assistance when needed.
