During a briefing at the Mazhilis on February 5, 2025, he noted that the Embassy of Kazakhstan in Washington and other consular offices are continuously monitoring the citizens present in the United States.
"Recently, our embassy announced that measures are being planned regarding citizens who are illegally residing in this country. Consequently, there has been an invitation to resolve this issue. I can't recall the exact statistics on how many citizens are in an illegal status. However, all of them have already received a warning," said Ermukhamet Konuspaev.
He was unable to provide an estimated number of Kazakhstanis living illegally in the U.S.
It was previously reported that around 370 Kazakhstanis are subject to deportation due to the tightening of U.S. immigration policies. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Kazakhstan emphasized that the removal of migrants is a routine procedure conducted daily in every country.
