“Indians Deported From US: S Jaishankar Shares Data”

External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar revealed that 15,756 illegal Indian immigrants have been deported from the US since 2009. He stated that US deportations are not new and happen in many countries.

The highest deportations were in 2019 (2,042), followed by 2020 (1,889). Recently, a US military aircraft brought 104 deported Indians to Amritsar, sparking criticism over their treatment. Some were handcuffed and shackled, leading to opposition outrage.

Jaishankar clarified that US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has followed this procedure since 2012. He assured that India is engaging with the US to ensure deportees are treated fairly.
