4th Batch Of 12 Illegal Indian Immigrants Deported By US Lands In Delhi

A fourth batch of illegal immigrants from India deported by the US landed in Delhi today, officials said.

They flew back to India via Panama, officials said. Of the 12, four went home to Punjab's Amritsar, officials said.

Nearly 300 immigrants deported under US President Donald Trump's policies are being held in a Panama hotel as the authorities work to return them to their home countries.

With 40 per cent refusing voluntary repatriation, UN agencies are seeking alternative destinations. The situation has raised concerns over their confinement, as Panama acts as a transit hub while the US covers the costs.
