In a first, a chartered plane with 205 Indians deported from the United States arrives in Amritsar this afternoon. The men and women passengers on board reportedly were deported to India for varying immigration-related reasons.
Arrangements have been made by authorities at the Amritsar airport to facilitate their arrival, with medical assistance available as well as coordination with local law enforcement.
Most of these deportees will be reunited with their families while others may have to face additional questioning from the Indian authorities.
The incident speaks to issues ongoing with immigration policies and challenges which are encountered while seeking residency outside of one’s home country. Further details await the situation that unfolds.
