This incident highlights the risks and challenges of illegal migration and its socio-economic impact.

In a controversial move, a US military aircraft carrying 112 illegal Indian immigrants landed at Amritsar airport, marking the third recent deportation amidst escalating actions against illegal immigration by the Trump administration.

The arrival, consisting of individuals from various Indian states including Haryana, Gujarat, and Punjab, has drawn criticism, especially over reports of shackled deportees and issues involving Sikh turbans.
