Must Read: Horror Stories About US Deportation

As we reported the US government deported, 104, Indian illegal immigrants, and the military aircraft carrying them arrived in Amritsar, the day before yesterday. In this context, here is a look at some of the horror stories that certain people had to say after getting departed by the United States government.

A man from Hoshiarpur of Punjab who got deported said “I was lied to that I would be sent legally but I was sent by 'donkey' route... I faced a lot of difficulties on the way. Now that I am back here, I will work here. I crossed the border with difficulty... I reached there in 8 months... I was jailed at the US border for 20 days and then I was sent back... Our hands and feet were chained and we were told that we were being sent back to India.

It took us 40 hours to reach Amritsar Airport... Everyone was chained except for the children... Now we will do farming here. The local MLA has said that the government will help us. We request the government to help us in getting our money back. We were lied to and sent illegally via donkey route.” He told.

Another man from Haryana, who also got deported said “I left for UK, 2.5 years ago and then I went to Europe and my agent made me take 'Dunki route...I spent Rs 40 lakhs...the journey was not very smooth, I took the forest route and faced so many issues. I had stayed in England for 2 years.

I took the agent's number through Facebook. I went there for my livelihood...I reached America on 24th January 2025, I stayed there for 11 days...when we were crossing the borders, I was caught...we were handcuffed and our legs were tied when we were brought back"

Another illegal immigrant who got deported said “What happened is unfortunate. Human rights don't allow to chain someone without any crime... Everyone wants to settle their family but I would say that if these children spend that amount of money here and stay here, it would be better. They would be able to live here with their family... If that much money is put in bank, they can survive easily. If they invest in a Fixed Deposit, they can get good returns.”

They suggest some of the horror stories that certain people who were deported had to say. The sad thing is that these deportations will not stop in the near future as the United States plans to send back the vast majority of the Indian population in the country.
