LOS ANGELES — On a recent visit to the federal prison in Victorville, San Bernardino County, U.S. Rep. Mark Takano, D-Riverside, was caught by surprise. Of the hundreds of immigrants detained there, he learned, possibly 40 percent had traveled from India seeking asylum.

The California Democrat had expected to see a high concentration of Central American detainees, many of them fathers who had been separated from their children.

Not all of the men spoke English. The group appointed a representative, who told Takano that they were supporters of two different political parties and had been persecuted by India’s governing Bharatiya Janata Party.

“They said they were often bullied into doing things that were immoral,” Takano said. “They would have to carry drugs, perpetrate violence against others.”

Now Playing: Elevated fire restrictions begin Monday in San Bernardino National Forest

Elevated fire restrictions began Monday in the San Bernardino National Forest in light of conditions, recent fire activity near Yosemite National Park and the availability of firefighters for response.

According to immigration officials and attorneys, there has been an increase in recent years of Indian nationals crossing into the U.S. through Mexico — although they represent a small percentage of those detained overall. Indian citizens are among thousands of migrants from Haiti, Africa and Asia now trekking across Latin America, taking advantage of travel routes forged by Latino immigrants.

By early August, about 380 of the 680 migrants at the Victorville facility were Indian nationals, according to the Federal Bureau of Prisons.
