External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar emphasized India's willingness to repatriate 18,000 undocumented Indians from the US, provided their identities are verified. Speaking during his Washington visit, Jaishankar stressed India's support for legal migration while opposing illegal mobility due to associated unlawful activities. “If we are sure they are our citizens, we have always been open to their legitimate return,” he stated. The remarks followed reports of India collaborating with the Trump administration to address illegal immigration. He also highlighted the importance of facilitating legal mobility to strengthen global opportunities for Indian talent.
