Ahead of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's expected visit to the U.S., the Trump administration has begun deporting illegal Indian immigrants.
A military aircraft left the U.S. carrying around 200 Indian nationals, who had been confirmed as Indian citizens before deportation.
Modi spoke with President Trump, agreeing to work together for global peace and security.
Trump emphasized that Modi would address the issue of illegal Indian immigrants in the U.S.
The use of military aircraft is a new method for deportation, though deportations have occurred before.
Over 1.6 lakh individuals were deported since June 2024.
There is ongoing dialogue between the U.S. and Indian authorities, with discussions about handling illegal immigrants from India.
India will only take back citizens after confirming their nationality through proper documentation.
The U.S. immigration policy is facing some uncertainty due to funding cuts and ongoing debates surrounding the issue.
