00:00Some 435 Malaysians faced deportation from the U.S. after receiving their final deportation
00:08orders from the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
00:12Citing data from ISIS Enforcement and Removal Operations Dashboard, Malaysians are among
00:181.44 million people currently in ISIS' non-detention docket, Haryan Metro reported.
00:25They were served with deportation orders after Donald Trump was installed as U.S. President
00:29for a second term.
00:31According to ICE, foreigners served with the orders can still seek asylum in the U.S. as
00:36refugees or under the U.N.'s Convention Against Torture.
00:40However, Washington still encourages home countries to accept the return of their citizens.
00:46ICE urged foreign governments to confirm the citizenship of their nationals and to issue
00:51travel documents for them promptly, in which failure to comply could lead to the nation
00:55being classified as uncooperative or at risk of being incompliant.
01:01Currently 15 nations have been listed as uncooperative, including China, India and Pakistan, while
01:0611 others such as Vietnam and Iraq are deemed at risk of being incompliant.
01:13In a brief statement, a Wisma Putra spokesman said the ministry was aware of reports on
01:17the deportation, but that its embassy in Washington had not received any formal notification from
01:23U.S. authorities.
01:25They also said there was no official request for consular assistance from Malaysians served
01:30with the deportation orders.
