A fourth batch of illegal immigrants from India deported by the US landed in Delhi today. Of the 12, four went home to Punjab’s Amritsar, officials said. The first round of deportation had taken place on February 5, when a US military plane transported 104 Indians. Nearly 300 immigrants deported under US President Donald Trump’s policies are being held in a Panama hotel as the authorities work to return them to their home countries. The situation has raised concerns over their confinement, as Panama acts as a transit hub while the US covers the costs. President Trump has defended the mass deportation of undocumented foreign nationals, saying his administration is \”draining the swamp by sending home fraudsters, cheaters, globalists and deep state bureaucrats\” The Trump administration is also directing immigration agents to track down hundreds of thousands of migrant children who entered the US without their parents, according to an internal memo reviewed by news agency Reuters. More than six lakh immigrant children have crossed the US-Mexico border without a parent or legal guardian since 2019, as the number of migrants caught crossing illegally reached record levels.
