American dream over for Indians as US carries out mass deportations

France 24 August 29, 2025

Since returning to power in January, US President Donald Trump has pledged to deport tens of thousands of undocumented immigrants. Among them are 18,000 Indians who entered the country illegally. In February, the Trump administration sent the first group of these Indian migrants back on a US military plane. In total, more than 1,700 Indians have been deported so far this year. Most of them used what is popularly known as the "donkey route" – a long, roundabout journey designed to evade border controls. Our correspondents in India met one of the deportees who took that route. FRANCE 24's Navodita Kumari and Suhel Khan report.
