Changes in US deportation policy, including Executive Order 14159, have led to increased enforcement actions against Bhutanese refugees resettled in the US between 2007-2017. ICE data shows a 500% increase in arrests of Bhutanese individuals from February 2025 onward. The Trump administration implemented a new ICE policy allowing detention of refugees who have not yet obtained permanent residency for a 'rescreening' process. A federal judge in Minneapolis blocked attempts to arrest settled refugees in Minnesota. The enforcement actions raise concerns as stateless Bhutanese individuals face persecution risk in Bhutan, and the immigration system fails to identify statelessness as a protected category.
