Opposition lawmakers protest alleged mistreatment of Indian deportees by US
NEW DELHI, February 6, 2025 (AP) — India’s Parliament was disrupted on Thursday as opposition lawmakers protested the alleged mistreatment of 104 Indian immigrants deported by the United States. A U.S. military plane on Wednesday carrying 104 deported Indian migrants arrived in a northern Indian city, the first such flight to the country as part of a crackdown ordered by the Trump administration. The lawmakers and media reports said the deportees’ arms and legs were shackled while on the aircraft. Parliament’s proceedings were adjourned Thursday as the lawmakers chanted slogans and called to discuss the deportation. Renuka Chowdhury, a lawmaker
