Video Description

A U.S. military plane carrying illegal Indian immigrants landed in India's northern city of Amritsar in Punjab on Wednesday, deporting people as part of President Donald Trump's immigration agenda. Some local media reported that the flight brought 205 people back, while others put the number at 104, mainly from the states of Punjab and Gujarat. Indian migrants who were deported said on Thursday their hands and legs were cuffed throughout the journey. “All of us were shackled. We were given no washroom facilities and they never removed the cuffs even to eat," deportee Ankit said. The deportation flight came a week before Trump is expected to meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Washington and sparked a political furor in India, with opposition parties demanding a debate in Parliament over how the deportees were treated during their return.
