The United States has deported 54 youths from Haryana, India, after they allegedly entered the country through Donkey Route.
They arrived in Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International Airport, Terminal-3, on Flight OAE-4767, on Saturday, media reports said.
According to information received so far, 16 of these young people are from Karnal, 15 from Kaithal, 5 from Ambala, 4 from Yamuna Nagar, 4 from Kurukshetra, 3 from Jind, 2 from Sonipat and 1 each from Panchkula, Panipat, Rohtak and Fatehabad, reported ANI.
The departed youths are aged between 25 and 40.
Karnal police handed them over to families; no agent complaints were received, the news agency reported.
The individuals were handed over to their families.
There has been a spike in actions taken against illegal immigrants ever since the President Donald Trump-led administration came to power.
Karnal DSP Sandeep Kumar told ANI: “Today, more Indians were deported from the United States, including 50 from Haryana, with approximately 16 from Karnal district. These individuals, from various villages and towns, had entered the US illegally via the ‘donkey route’ but were deported today. Karnal police informed the media that about 16 people who had gone to America through the ‘donkey route’ were deported.”
“Karnal police brought them back and handed them over to their families. They stated that no complaint has been received regarding any agent. They also advised against anyone attempting to go abroad illegally, emphasising that it is the wrong method that leads to significant problems later on. The police further stated that an investigation is underway, and if anyone has a criminal record, it will come to light during the investigation,” he said.
