Sourav, an Indian man who was deported from the United States, shared his difficult story. He revealed that he and his family spent around ₹45 lakhs (about $54,000) to help him reach the US, but it was all in vain. Sourav’s parents sold their land and borrowed money from relatives to fund his journey. “I want help from the government because my parents lost everything for this,” he said.
Sourav entered the US on January 27 and was caught by the police just a few hours later. They took him to a police station and then to a camp, where he stayed for 15-18 days. He explained that there was no one to listen to them, and when they were finally told they were moving to another camp, they were surprised to find out they were being sent back to India.
His journey started on December 17 when he left India. He first went to Malaysia and then to Mumbai, where he stayed for ten days. After that, he traveled to Amsterdam, Panama, Tapachula, and finally Mexico, where he stayed for about three to four days before trying to cross the US border.
Sourav said, “We cooperated with the American authorities, but no one listened to us. Our hands and legs were tied, and our phones were taken away while we were in the camp, so we couldn’t contact anyone back home.”
Recently, two planes carrying Indian citizens who illegally migrated to America have returned them to India. The first plane landed in Amritsar on February 5, carrying 100 people, and the second plane arrived just days later with more deportees.
