In an unprecedented move, the United States has begun using military aircraft to deport migrants to India, a US official confirmed on Monday. The C-17 military transport plane carrying migrants departed but is expected to take at least 24 hours to arrive in India.

Trump’s Immigration Enforcement Intensifies

  • The Trump administration has increasingly relied on the military to enforce immigration policies.
  • US military bases are being used to detain migrants, and troops have been deployed to the US-Mexico border.
  • Over 5,000 immigrants held in El Paso, Texas, and San Diego, California, are also being deported via military flights.
  • Previously, the US military deported migrants to Guatemala, Peru, and Honduras.

Costly Deportation Method

  • Military deportation flights are expensive.
  • A recent flight to Guatemala cost approximately $4,675 per migrant, according to Reuters.

This marks the longest-distance deportation flight yet under Trump’s intensified immigration crackdown, signaling stricter enforcement measures against illegal immigration.
