At 8.09 am, the process ended in high drama as the police attempted to escort some deportees through a side door, leading to a rush there. Then, the police brought out the final batch of deportees, 6-10 people, all from Mehsana from the Gate-6 arrival door and directly into the waiting vans, which then drove off to North Gujarat.

The deportees were among the 104 deported Indians who were in a United States military aircraft that landed in Punjab’s Amritsar on Wednesday. They were the first batch of illegal Indian immigrants deported from the US under the Trump 2.0 administration.
