A US military C-17 aircraft carrying 205 deported Indian migrants left San Antonio, Texas, on February 4. The Trump administration is using expensive military planes, costing around $28,500 per hour, instead of civilian flights to reinforce its tough stance on illegal immigration. Colombia recently refused military deportation flights, citing sovereignty concerns. Trump defended the move, stating, “We are respected again.” The visuals of shackled migrants being loaded onto military planes have sparked criticism. Trump aims to expedite deportations, avoiding lengthy detention periods. Experts warn that military deportations may strain diplomatic ties, especially with Latin American nations.
