Aasis Subedi

Aasis Subedi is a Bhutanese Nepali refugee who was recently deported from the United States back to a refugee camp in Nepal, where he spent part of his childhood. He had been living in the US as a legal permanent resident since 2016 before being detained and deported after serving time for a felony offense. Subedi's return to Nepal marks a tragic return to statelessness for him and highlights the ongoing struggles faced by the Bhutanese Nepali community, many of whom fled ethnic cleansing in Bhutan.
