'Illegal' Indians deported from US: What happens to them now?

India Today  

Amid the political uproar surrounding the deportation of citizens under President Trump's administration, the return of a planeload of undocumented Indian immigrants has raised concerns about the repercussions of such actions. The US government has said that many more such illegal immigrants would be identified and deported, while the Indian External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar said in the Parliament that the Indian government is “actively engaging with the Donald Trump administration to ensure that deported Indian migrants are treated with dignity and not subjected to mistreatment.” WHAT'S NEXT FOR DEPORTED INDIANS? Senior Advocate Atul Nanda, former Advocate General of Punjab during the Captain Amarinder Singh government, said that there is “very little chance that these people would have been involved in making fake papers” as most such migrants are semi-literate and belong to poor families. The former Advocate General also pointed out that in many areas of Punjab, particularly in Doaba and rural Punjab, travel agencies “paint a rosy picture” of life in America, Canada or the UK, asking people to pay lakhs of rupees to migrate to these countries. As on December 5, 2024, the MEA, in a response to a question asked in the Rajya Sabha, had stated that “as and when complaints of illegal migration/human trafficking are received, such matters are referred to the State Police for investigation and prosecution under the relevant legal provisions of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and other legislation in place including that enacted by the Punjab Government like Punjab Prevention of Human Smuggling Act, 2012.” In the cyber domain, action is also taken against illegal recruiting agents in association with Ministry of Home Affairs and state Police authorities.
