India has protested the US handling of Indian deportees, who arrived handcuffed and shackled from San Antonio in a military plane on February 5, confirmed the government while officially announcing PM Narendra Modi’s visit to Washington on February 12-13.

At least 104 Indian citizens were deported from the United States Tuesday night on a military aircraft, according to officials from India’s Punjab state, as US President Donald Trump makes stemming migration a top priority.

The flight appeared to be the first use of an American military aircraft to deport people to India, which is one of the top sources of illegal immigration to the United States.

A U.S. military plane carrying 104 deported Indian migrants has arrived in a northern Indian city, the first such flight to the country as part of a crackdown ordered by the Trump administration, airport officials said.

Indian lawmakers have voiced rage over the U.S. allegedly flying dozens of deportees halfway around the world in handcuffs and leg chains.
