A US military C-17 Globemaster aircraft carrying approximately 200 illegal Indian immigrants is set to land at Amritsar airport on Wednesday morning. Most of these individuals reportedly hail from Punjab and neighboring states.

This marks the first large-scale deportation of illegal Indian immigrants during Donald Trump’s second presidential term. It is also unprecedented for the US to use a military cargo plane for deportations to India. The Indian government has cooperated fully with the US administration in facilitating the repatriation process.

External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar previously stated that India does not support illegal immigration. In November 2024, the US provided India with a list of 18,000 illegal immigrants requiring deportation, initiating this ongoing process.
