The U.S. Embassy in Armenia has issued a message urging individuals who are unlawfully residing in the United States to leave the country before being detected by government authorities.

“If you know someone unlawfully present in the United States, encourage them to depart before being identified by government agencies. The message is clear for everyone: make the right choice, obey the law, and do not endanger your safety, your family, or your future,” the embassy stated.

President Donald Trump repeatedly emphasized the need for stricter immigration control. On January 20, upon assuming office, he signed an executive order declaring a state of emergency at the U.S.-Mexico border. According to a New York Post source, over 100,000 people were deported during the early period of Trump’s administration.
