US Deports Indian Migrants on Military Plane Amid Trump Crackdown
February 4 – In a significant move under President Donald Trump’s renewed immigration crackdown, the United States has deported a batch of Indian migrants using a military aircraft, marking the first such deportation since Trump’s return to office.
The Indian Embassy in Washington confirmed the development, stating that the message is clear: “Illegal migration is not worth the risk.” This comes as part of Trump’s tougher stance on border control, targeting undocumented migrants and those attempting to enter the US illegally.
Strict Immigration Policies Under Trump
Since regaining the presidency, Trump has reinstated hardline immigration policies, emphasizing deportations, stricter visa regulations, and enhanced border security measures. The use of a military aircraft to deport migrants signals an aggressive approach in handling undocumented immigration.
India Urges Citizens to Avoid Illegal Routes
In response to the deportation, the Indian government has reiterated its advisory against illegal migration, warning citizens about the dangers of human trafficking, fraudulent agents, and the legal consequences of unlawful entry into the US.
This deportation sets a precedent for potential future expulsions, as the Trump administration continues its zero-tolerance approach toward illegal immigration.
