The U.S. Air Force C-17 Globemaster aircraft landed in Amritsar, carrying around 100 Indian nationals deported from the United States for illegal immigration. This was notable because the deportation was conducted using a military transport aircraft instead of commercial repatriation flights. The Punjab Police took charge of the deportees upon arrival, and many of them were from districts like Hoshiarpur, Gurdaspur, Jalandhar, and Kapurthala. This event highlights the U.S.’s strict immigration policies and the ongoing collaboration between India and the U.S. in handling illegal migration cases.
