US Deportation Drama: The Illegal Journey Back Home

A US military aircraft arrived in Amritsar, returning 116 illegal Indian immigrants as part of the Trump administration's continuous immigration crackdown. Many deportees, primarily from Punjab, fell victim to fraudulent agents promising a better life. The Punjab government promised support while criticizing Haryana's handling of transport arrangements for the deportees.

A US military aircraft carrying 116 Indian immigrants landed at Amritsar International Airport late Saturday night, marking the second wave of deportations by the Trump administration.

The deportees, predominantly from Punjab, recounted stories of exploitation by agents who promised a legal pathway to the US but instead led them on perilous journeys.

Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann expressed dissatisfaction with the treatment of deportees, emphasizing support from the state government and criticizing Haryana's transport arrangements as inhumane.
