Trouble is. deporting a lot of people in a short amount of time is difficult to get right. What are we doing to make sure there arent mistakes? to ensure that we arent being inhumane to those we are deporting?
"Following the Pahalgam terror attack on April 22, 2025, the Union Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) has asked the States to intensify the drive against undocumented migrants from Bangladesh and Myanmar. The Hindu reported first on May 14 that the government was sending the migrants across the Bangladesh border for over the past one month. More than 500 migrants have been sent across the eastern border so far. On May 17, 2025, around 140 undocumented migrants from Rajasthan were flown to Agartala on an Air India plane and sent to Bangladesh. Earlier, on May 4, 2025, two Air India planes transported 300 undocumented migrants, including 200 women and children, who were earlier detained in Gujarat, to Agartala and subsequently sent to Bangladesh via the land border. On April 23, 2025, the Foreigners Regional Registration Office (FRRO) under MHA intimated the Kolkata Police that 80 undocumented migrants from Delhi were being brought by train to the city from where they were to be taken to the border for being handed over to the Border Security Force."

From NDTV:
"Kunal Jain, an Indian-American entrepreneur who witnessed an Indian man being handcuffed and pinned to the ground at the Newark Airport in the US, said that the incident was "deeply unsettling". Mr Jain had posted a video of the man being "treated like a criminal" on X, which went viral and triggered outrage on social media.
According to Mr Jain, there were around 50 people waiting for the flight, but no one dared to say anything to the immigration officials. He said that the young man was visibly disoriented and violent.
"The reason I think he was pinned down is that he was a little violent, and he was feeling disoriented. I don't know why he was disoriented. What happens when there is a violent person, they are not allowed on the plane. So, the officials called the pilot, he said we can't take him on the plane because he's a threat to other passengers. When that happened, they pinned him down," he told NDTV.
"The worst part was when the other police officials came, at least seven to eight, they emptied the whole queue, and they tied his legs and hands and held him. At that moment, I literally started crying. Why did they do that, and so publicly," Mr Jain said, calling the moment a "human tragedy".
There were communication issues between the Indian man and the officials as the former was speaking in Hindi and Haryanvi, Mr Jain said."
