India’s West Bengal pushes out Muslim Bangladeshis
Summary
West Bengal’s new BJP-led government has detained and deported thousands of Muslim Bangladeshis, framing the actions as enforcement against illegal immigration. The campaign has relied on detention drives and removals that rights groups and affected families describe as sweeping and error-prone.
Why it matters
The state’s enforcement push turns migration into an on-the-ground coercive policy, raising due-process risks and escalating identity politics in a border region.
