A U.S. military plane recently deported 104 Indian nationals, including Daler Singh, who had spent six months and $45,000 to enter the U.S. illegally. The deportees, aged 4 to 46, were handcuffed and leg-chained during the flight to Amritsar, Punjab. This action aligns with President Donald Trump's immigration crackdown and has sparked criticism in India, especially ahead of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to Washington. India's Foreign Minister, S. Jaishankar, emphasized the need to target the illegal migration industry while easing visa processes for legitimate travelers.
