Washington: A C-17 military aircraft carrying illegal Indian immigrants has departed from the United States. A total of 205 Indians have been deported. Reports suggest that approximately 725,000 Indians are residing in the U.S. without proper documentation. Today, 205 Indians were removed from the U.S. via the C-17 military aircraft.
Since Donald Trump took office as the President of the United States, several strict measures have been implemented. Throughout his campaign, Trump pledged to expel unauthorized immigrants. Staying true to his promises, he has cut financial aid to various countries and imposed tariffs on Canada, Mexico, and China. He also warned that countries imposing high tariffs on American goods would face a 100% tariff. These aggressive trade policies have raised concerns about a potential trade war.
Recent reports indicate that the tariffs on Mexico and Canada have been temporarily suspended. Meanwhile, the U.S. has intensified efforts to deport illegal immigrants. It is estimated that around 725,000 Indians are living illegally in the U.S., making them one of the largest undocumented immigrant groups after Mexicans and Salvadorans.
Declaring an emergency in states along the Mexican border, Trump has initiated stringent measures to track and arrest illegal immigrants. In this context, reports have emerged that a U.S. military aircraft carrying deported Indian immigrants has left for India.
"A spokesperson mentioned, 'The C-17 plane transporting unauthorized migrants has left for India". However, it will not arrive within the next 24 hours." Reports confirm that the aircraft had 205 individuals on board. This morning, 205 Indians were deported via the C-17 aircraft.
Previously, India had stated that it was always prepared to accept its undocumented citizens deported from the U.S. Indian External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar mentioned that the Indian government is verifying the identities of individuals subject to deportation. However, the exact number of individuals being deported remains uncertain.
