emigrés
Those who left
Emigrés are people who have left their home country, typically for political reasons.
The word carries connotations of exile or flight rather than voluntary relocation: Russian emigrés fled after the revolution, Cuban emigrés in Miami.
The term often implies maintaining ties to the homeland and hope of eventual return.
Also spelled emigrants or émigrés.
