Pledges he made during his campaign for office; at the moment, a large-scale deportation of illegal immigrants to other nations, including india, is in progress. Trump's tough attitude on the estimated 11 million illegal migrants in America was put into action tuesday as a US military jet started deporting indian migrants.
 
Trump had declared on the campaign trail that "we will begin the largest deportation operation in American history when I am reelected."

According to reports, a C-17 plane carrying 205 indian people took off from San Antonio, Texas, at approximately three in the morning IST. The aircraft, its route to Amritsar, Punjab, is probably going to refuel in Ramstein, Germany. According to sources, each one was checked before being returned.
 
Since further groups of illegal indian immigrants are anticipated to be flown back in the upcoming weeks, this deportation is probably the first of many scheduled flights.
 
The united states is aggressively patrolling its border, tightening immigration regulations, and expelling illegal migrants, according to a spokeswoman for the US Embassy, who refuses to confirm the news.
 
"These actions send a clear message: illegal migration is not worth the risk," the official stated.
 
Who Are Deported?
The country's unauthorized or undocumented migrants are the focus of the trump administration. The New York Times reports that those detained during the former Joe Biden administration have been sent to Latin America by military aircraft thus far.
 
For its most recent wave of deportations, the trump administration has used both military and commercial planes.
 
More than 5,000 migrants from San Diego, California, and El Paso, Texas, will be deported, according to the Pentagon. Military planes have transported migrants to Honduras, Guatemala, and peru thus far.

How Many indians Will Be Affected?
This massive expulsion is anticipated to affect thousands of indian nationals living in the country illegally and highlights the U.S. government's strong border enforcement posture.
 
According to Bloomberg News, 18,000 undocumented indian migrants have been detected by the US and India.
 
The action may impact at least 20,407 undocumented Indians. The united states Department of Homeland Security (DHS) reports that 17,940 of these are paperless persons with final deportation orders. The Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) branch of US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is now holding 2,467 more people. These numbers might be much higher because they were last updated in 2022.

According to data from the Pew Research Center, there are around 725,000 illegal immigrants from india living in the US, making it the country with the third-largest undocumented immigrant population after mexico and El Salvador.
 
Will india Accept Them Back?
In response to questions about US deportation intentions last month, india stated that it has always been amenable to the lawful repatriation of illegal indians to their homeland.
 
The number of US nationals who can be deported to india is yet unknown, according to External Affairs minister S Jaishankar, who stated that india was confirming who could be deported.
 
"With every country, and the US is no exception, we have always maintained that if any of our citizens are there illegally, and if we are sure that they are our citizens, we have always been open to their legitimate return to india," said EAM Jaishankar.

The US President stated that the indian prime minister "will do what's right" in terms of repatriating illegal indian immigrants from the united states during a phone conversation with prime minister Narendra Modi last month.
