According to sources, 30 of these are from Punjab. 33 from Haryana and Gujarat. Three from Maharashtra and Uttar Pradesh, and two from Chandigarh.

What Will happen Now with the Deported Indians or Illegal Indians Deport
The Illegal Indians Deported themselves would not be prosecuted in India. According to senior counsel and Delhi Bar Council Chairman KK Manan. Unless they traveled with forged or fraudulent passports.
“As long as they used their own legitimate paperwork and had authentic Indian passports, they won’t face any legal repercussions in India. Under the Passport Act, someone could be prosecuted for using a phony passport, adding their own photo to someone else’s, or altering their name, birthdate, or other information on a passport in order to go the “dunki” path. If not, they return home and are in their own nation,” Manan stated.
Senior Advocate Atul Nanda, former Advocate General of Punjab under Captain Amarinder Singh, stated that there is “very little chance that these people would have been involved in making fake papers.” Because the majority of such migrants are semi-literate and come from low-income households.
Advocate Kamlesh Mishra, worked on issues related to the deportation of illegal immigrants from India. He told that deported migrants cannot be prosecuted. Unless they were convicted of a crime in the host country or were involved in passport fraud in India.
Trump’s immigration crackdown
When the President took over the White House on January 20, the Trump administration in Washington set to work. To date, the United States has deported illegal migrants to Guatemala, Peru, and Honduras using military planes.
When it came to sending its planes to deport illegal immigrants, India was one of the furthest away. S Jaishankar, the minister of external affairs, had previously stated that it would make it easier for Indians who were “overstaying” or living in the US or “anywhere in the world”. Without the required paperwork to return.
Randhir Jaiswal, a spokesperson for the MEA, restated India’s stance on illegal immigration. He stated that the country is opposed to it. “Especially because it is linked to several forms of organised crime”.
