US Flies Back Expelled Indian Migrants

A U.S. Air Force plane carrying more than a hundred Indian migrants expelled by the United States landed in India on Wednesday, local media reported.

Thousands of undocumented migrants have been arrested since Trump’s January 20 inauguration, including some accused of crimes.

An AFP photographer in the northern city of Amritsar saw the U.S. military aircraft land, with Indian media reporting it was carrying 104 Indian migrants.

Trump’s flurry of executive actions aimed at overhauling immigration to the United States is estimated to impact 11 million undocumented migrants.

Neither New Delhi nor Washington have commented specifically on the deportations.

But a U.S. embassy spokesperson in India said Washington was “vigorously enforcing its border, tightening immigration laws, and removing illegal migrants.”
