US deports 205 illegal Indian immigrants via military plane

The United States started the process of deporting illegal Indian immigrants back to the country.

A US military C-17 aircraft carrying 205 Indians departed from San Antonio, Texas, around 3 am IST on Tuesday and will land in Amritsar at around 9 am on Wednesday. This is the first batch of nationals to be sent back to India. According to NDTV, the military aircraft, unless fitted with an air-transportable



galley, has a single toilet onboard for the passengers. 

Soon after resuming office, President Donald Trump stated that the country would be deporting 11 million illegal immigrants to their respective countries. “For the first time in history, we are locating and loading illegal aliens into military aircraft and flying them back to the places from which they came,” Trump told reporters last month.
