🔥 Deportation Drama: The FAQs You NEED to Read! 🔥
🚨 1. Why is the U.S. deporting Indian immigrants in large numbers?
The deportations are part of the Trump administration’s crackdown on illegal immigration. Many of these individuals entered the U.S. through the ‘donkey route’ (Dunki), a network of illegal migration pathways across multiple countries. The U.S. has ramped up its policies, detaining and swiftly deporting undocumented immigrants.
✈️ 2. Why is Amritsar the landing point for these deportees?
Amritsar has been chosen as the primary repatriation hub due to the high number of Punjabi migrants involved in illegal immigration. However, Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann has protested, stating,
“Do not make our holy city a deportation center!”
🛑 3. Were the deportees really handcuffed and shackled?
YES! Several deportees have claimed that they were handcuffed and had their legs chained during the flight. This has caused massive outrage in India, with many questioning why Indian citizens were treated like criminals.
🗣️ Deportee Testimonial:
“Our legs were chained, hands were cuffed. We were treated like prisoners!” – Daljit Singh, a deportee.
💰 4. How much did these migrants pay for illegal immigration?
The amounts vary, but reports suggest:

| Fake Visa Route | ₹15-₹30 lakh | India → Europe/Canada → USA |
