US Sends Back a Planeload of Illegal Indian Immigrants
According to the Department of Homeland Security, the US worked with the indian government to rent a chartered jet to deport indian individuals who were unlawfully residing in the country.
The agency said on friday that the charter jet was dispatched to india on october 22. Kristie A. Canegallo, a top official carrying out the responsibilities of Deputy Secretary of Homeland Security, stated that "Indian nationals without a legal basis to remain in the united states are subject to swift removal, and intending migrants should not fall for the lies of smugglers who proclaim otherwise."
According to the statement, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is still enforcing US immigration laws, punishing illegal immigrants severely, and promoting the use of legal routes.
Encounters between ports of entry along the US southwest data-border have dropped by 55% since the Securing the Border Presidential Proclamation and related Interim Final Rule went into force in june 2024.
According to the statement, the DHS performed more than 495 foreign repatriation flights to more than 145 countries, including india, and removed or returned more than 160,000 people in fiscal year 2024.
According to the report, the agency frequently works with countries in the hemisphere and beyond to accept the repatriation of their citizens who lack a valid reason to be in the United States.
It stated that this was only one of several tools the US employed to curb irregular migration, encourage the adoption of safe, legal, and orderly routes, and hold transnational criminal networks responsible for smuggling and exploiting vulnerable individuals. Over the last year, DHS has removed individuals from a range of countries worldwide, including Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Egypt, Mauritania, Senegal, Uzbekistan, China, and India.
