Following US President Donald Trump’s massive crackdown on illegal immigration, a US military plane carrying 104 Indian citizens who were living in the country illegally touched down at Sri Guru Ram Dass Jee International Airport in Amritsar on Wednesday. Under the strict immigration policy of the Donald Trump administration, this is the first wave of Indian immigrants being deported. This is the first time a military aircraft has been used to conduct a deportation of Indian people, although the United States has done it in the past under previous administrations.

Describe deportation.
Deportation is the process of expelling a non-citizen from the United States once they have violated US immigration law.

The deportation procedure is carried out by the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) department. Deportations occur for a variety of reasons, including criminal activities, visa status infractions, and public safety threats.

Procedure for Deportation
Immigrants who are arrested for breaking US immigration rules are usually sent to a detention facility. They could be detained while the court considers their case and decides whether they should be deported or allowed to stay in the United States. Sometimes, especially when immigrants enter without the required paperwork or break other entry criteria, accelerated removal takes place without a court hearing.

The majority of deportations are conducted by plane once the removal order is obtained, while some may combine land and air transit. Deportation is funded by the US government, and those who are deported are usually returned to their native nations.

Non-citizens may choose to leave voluntarily in certain circumstances, but expedited removals are also often carried out when someone has broken entrance regulations or is discovered to be using false documentation.
