A significant operation involving the deportation of illegal Indian immigrants from the US has unfolded, with a US military C-17 aircraft transporting more than 200 individuals, primarily from Gujarat, Haryana, and Punjab, landing in Amritsar. This comes amid ongoing discussions about the immigration policies under the Trump administration, which has initiated a crackdown leading to the deportation of thousands. Reports indicate that these deportees faced handcuffs and were humiliated during the process, raising concerns among humanitarian groups in India. The North American Punjabi Association has urged the Punjab government to establish a rehabilitation fund for the returnees, as many were young individuals whose dreams of better opportunities in America have been abruptly halted. Meanwhile, the Indian embassy is issuing warnings about the risks of illegal migration, with estimates suggesting that 18,000 Indians could face similar fate.
