Delhi Over Deportation, Govt-Opposition Square Off
The United States today defended its decision to send 104 Indian migrants, who tried to enter the US illegally, on a C-17 military aircraft which landed in Amritsar yesterday. The deportees, many of whom endured perilous journeys through multiple countries to reach the United States, were shackled and restrained throughout the flight, only to be freed upon arrival in India. The US Embassy in India said that "enforcing our nation's immigration laws is critically important to the national security and public safety of the United States."
