US Crackdown on Illegal Immigration

The recent crackdown on illegal immigration announced by President Trump highlights a major shift in U.S. policy, focusing on deporting undocumented migrants, including about 20,000 Indians currently facing removal orders. This decision has sparked concerns in India, as many of these undocumented immigrants have exhausted their legal options and are now in detention centers. The dialogue between Prime Minister Modi and Trump signifies a diplomatic effort to address these issues, with India stressing the importance of distinguishing between legal and illegal immigration. The deportation of Indian migrants raises the stakes for India, which has successfully sent back a military aircraft carrying these individuals, further amplifying the urgency of this humanitarian issue.
