As far as I know, there are no Kazakhstanis in (migrant) camps. Our consulates in Washington, D.C. and other cities continuously keep a register of Kazakhstani nationals staying in the U.S., said Konusspayev on the sidelines of the Majilis.

The Kazakh deputy foreign minister went on to add that the country’s embassies had been recently informed of the sweeping measures targeting illegal migrants in the U.S. ‘Invitations were sent to address this issue’ he said. 

Konusspayev did not give an exact number of Kazakhstanis, residing in the U.S. illegally, however, he added that ‘all of them were warned’.

As earlier reported, 24 Kazakhstani nationals had been deported from the US in 2024, while 13 nationals in 2023.
