The US has deported Indian migrants using a military aircraft, marking the farthest such transport under President Donald Trump’s immigration policies. A C-17 aircraft carrying migrants departed for India, taking at least 24 hours to arrive. The Pentagon is also facilitating flights to deport over 5,000 migrants from detention centers in El Paso, Texas, and San Diego, California. Trump has increasingly used the military for deportations, despite high costs—one flight to Guatemala reportedly cost $4,675 per migrant. Previous deportation flights primarily targeted Guatemala, Peru, and Honduras. The move highlights Trump’s intensified crackdown on illegal immigration.
