More than 7,300 immigrants in the US were sent back home in handcuffs and shackles after the Department of Homeland Security began its mass deportation drive on the order of US President Donald Trump.
The condition in which these immigrants were flown back home has been questioned and so has the use of military planes to carry out this operation while the deportation drive itself has invited criticism, reported Firstpost.
Since President Trump took office and signed an executive order on immigration, joint teams of the Immigration Department, Drug Enforcement Administration, FBI and other US government agencies have arrested more than 10,000 illegal immigrants across the United States.
Moreover, US Vice President JD Vance has confirmed that military aircraft and other means have been used to deport large numbers of people from Latin American countries such as Venezuela and Colombia.
In a TV interview, the vice president has confirmed that in addition to such large-scale and historic deportations, President Trump has also set a target of arresting and deporting 1,800 illegal immigrants per day, which will continue until the end of President Trump’s operation against illegal immigrants.
The intensity of Trump’s campaign against illegal immigrants has stirred a storm across the United States.
