A US military plane carrying undocumented migrants took off for India on Monday as the Trump administration ramps up efforts to remove illegal immigrants, according to a Reuters report citing an unnamed official. The official, who requested anonymity, confirmed that a C-17 aircraft had left with migrants on board, though it would take more than 24 hours to reach India.
Trump had vowed to carry out the largest deportation in US history. US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has already identified around 18,000 undocumented Indian nationals among a total of 1.5 million people facing deportation. However, the exact number of individuals on the flight was not immediately known.
