Indian Foreign Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar said on Thursday that New Delhi is engaging with the US to ensure that illegal Indian immigrants are not mistreated while being deported after opposition parties protested against the treatment of a group that was sent back this week. A US military plane carrying 104 deportees landed on Wednesday in the Sikh holy city of Amritsar in India's Punjab state, part of President Donald Trump's immigration agenda. Deportees said that their hands and legs were shackled throughout the journey, with the restraints removed only after landing. The deportees underwent hours of scrutiny at Amritsar airport before police escorted them out in small groups in police vehicles.
