Indians deported by Mexico arrive at New Delhi

311 Indian nationals living illegally  in Mexico have been deported to  India  by the government of the  North American  country .They were put  on a Boeing 747 aircraft to New Delhi, according to statement issued  by National Migration Institute. They have arrived in New Delhi. They had no condition of regular stay in the country. They were deported from the Toluca City International Airport on the   aircraft .Mexico has stepped up its immigration enforcement in recent months under pressure from the United States. The government has deployed thousands of National Guard agents along the major migration routes, says Associated Press. The people were presented to the immigration authority in the states of Oaxaca, Baja California, Veracruz, Chiapas, Sonora, Mexico City, Durango and Tabasco, it said.The move comes after US President Donald Trump in June threatened tariffs on all Mexican imports if the country did not put a check on people entering America through Mexico’s borders. The  operation was  conducted  hassle free in cooperation with  the Indian Embassy in Mexico.The deportees, who are accompanied by the Federal Migration agents, as well as members of the National Guard, were gathered in the Acayucan Migration Station in Veracruz to carry out their identification and subsequent transfer.”It should be noted that there is no precedent in the history of the INM – neither in the form, nor in the number of people – of a Trans-Atlantic air conduction, such as that carried out on this day,” the statement said.
