At least 104 Indian citizens deported from US on military aircraft, say Indian officials

At least 104 Indian citizens deported from US on military aircraft, say Indian officials

At least 104 Indian citizens were deported from the United States Tuesday night on a military aircraft, according to officials from India’s Punjab state, as US President Donald Trump makes stemming migration a top priority.

The C-17 aircraft, carrying migrants mainly from India’s Gujarat, Maharashtra and Punjab states, landed Wednesday afternoon local time in the northwest city of Amritsar, Punjab officials said.

It marked the longest distance flight since the Trump administration began deploying military aircraft for migrant transportation, according to a US official.

Shortly after Akashdeep’s arrival to the US in January, he was detained and deported from there, his cousin said. “His parents are happy that he has not spent ten years in jail and is returning. At least he is alive,” Manriasat added.

‘The youth want to live a good life’

Akashdeep’s story is not unique. In just four years, the number of Indian citizens entering the US illegally has surged dramatically — from 8,027 in the 2018 to 2019 fiscal year to 96,917 during 2022 to 2023 period, government data showed.

Young Indians looking for work opportunities have made up a sizeable portion of undocumented migrants in the US, some of whom are making the dangerous trek through Latin America to reach the US southern border.

Lakbhir Singh, a former Punjab village leader, knows one of the deported Indian citizens.

He said the repatriated man’s “family is distraught.” The family had sold their property and spent thousands of dollars “to send their son abroad and the boy came back,” Lakbhir said.

He said unemployment was driving young people in his area to leave. “The youth want to live a good life,” he said. “The government should do something about it, instead of flashing their names and villages on television. They should deal with the problem at the core of it.”

While the Indian government has announced their intent to receive its deported citizens back, local leaders are calling for greater measures to be taken to address the root of the problem.

“This is my request to the federal government,” the Punjab State Minister of Non-resident Indian Affairs, Kuldeep Singh Dhaliwal, said to local media on Wednesday after meeting the deported individuals.

“I especially request that Prime Minister Narendra Modi should sit with the US President Donald Trump and find a solution to whatever is happening or is going to happen.”
