  • Summary

  • At least two more Pennsylvania residents have been deported to Bhutan. That brings the total to eight Bhutanese refugees from Pennsylvania and 20 from across the country who have been deported back to Bhutan, according to leaders from those communities who have been tracking cases.

    In early March, Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents began arresting members of the Bhutanese refugee community in Central Pennsylvania. The first deportation flight came on March 26, less than three weeks after the initial arrests, with the next flights on March 28 and April 10.

    On this special episode of The Spark, Democracy Reporter Jordan Wilkie spoke with Craig Shagin, a lawyer for one of the recently deported men, human rights activist Gopal Krishna Siwakoti, Narad Adhikari, a former refugee from Bhutan and now a U.S. citizen living in Central Pa. and other members of the Bhutanese community about this issue.
