US Border Patrol (USBP) chief Michael Banks has shared a video purportedly showing Indian deportees being led into a military plane in handcuffs and legs in chains.

“The USBP and partners successfully returned illegal aliens to India, marking the farthest deportation flight yet using military transport,” Banks said in a post on X. “If you cross illegally, you will be removed,” he said in the post.

Meanwhile, a spokesperson for the US Embassy in New Delhi said enforcing immigration laws was “critically important” to the security and public safety of the United States. “It is the policy of the US to faithfully execute the immigration laws against all inadmissible and removable aliens,” he added. Migration has been among the key issues since Trump assumed office, and is expected to come up during Modi’s visit to US.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
