He now deported more than 1,000 Indian migrants last year, but on commercial flights and without any reports on alleged mistreatment. There is a common practice for the Immigration Immigration Customs Customization to restrain adult deports on flights outside the country, which the Agency claims to be the protection of security and migrants themselves, preventing riots and other security issues.
At the request of certain countries, ICE agents will eliminate limitations after they have arrived in their home countries and before they turn off.
The Indian Foreign Minister also emphasized the need for a “strong suppression” in the industry of trade in people who encourage illegal immigration, and he promised the action against people involved in illegal trade.

State Department said such deportations send a message of distraction to people who could think about coming to the US without approval.
The deportation flight followed only a few days before Prime Minister Narendra Modi should visit Washington, where he is expected to talk to President Trump next week.
