United States, July 31, 2026: US immigration judges issued removal orders involving 801 Indian nationals during June 2026, according to a country-level analysis of immigration-court records compiled by the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse.
The reported figure was slightly lower than the 840 orders involving Indians recorded in May. However, the overall number of removal orders covering all nationalities increased substantially during the same period.
TRAC data show that US immigration judges issued 78,882 removal orders in June, compared with 58,339 in May. This represents an increase of approximately 35%, although TRAC described the monthly movement as a roughly 30% jump based on its broader analysis. Removal orders accounted for about 78% of immigration-court cases closed in June.
The data also indicate that more than two-thirds of the people ordered removed across all nationalities were absent from the hearing at which the decision was issued.
A removal order is a legal ruling by an immigration judge and should not automatically be interpreted as confirmation that the person has already been physically deported. Depending on the circumstances, an individual may be able to seek an appeal, reopening, review or another form of legal relief. Each case is determined by its own procedural history and facts.
The figures underline the importance of attending scheduled immigration hearings, maintaining an updated address with the court and obtaining qualified legal advice. Missing a hearing may result in an order being issued in the person’s absence.
