'Shackled for 25 hours': Deportees from Haryana share ordeal as their US dream dashed
Economic Times India ^ | 10/27/2025 | PTI

"My feet are swollen. I was shackled for 25 hours (on the flight)," said 45-year-old Harjinder Singh, who was part of the latest batch of Indians deported by the US.

Expressing his ordeal, Singh also said he spent Rs 35 lakh to migrate to the US for a better life but his dreams of doing something good for the family are dashed now.

The latest batch of illegal migrants included around 50 people from Haryana's Kaithal, Karnal, Kurukshetra, Ambala, Yamunanagar, Jind and Panipat districts, officials said.

A plane carrying them landed at the Delhi airport late on Saturday night.

The migrants -- most of them in the 25-40 age group -- expressed dejection at the deportation, saying that they had spent lakhs of rupees by selling off plots, borrowing from relatives and draining out their savings to migrate to the US in pursuit of a better future.

Most of them had taken the treacherous 'donkey route' to enter the US.

"I liked America. It is a good country but (President) Trump sent us back.

Many Indians have been deported," he further said.

Yeah, if I recall my history, Lucky Luciano's dreams re the "American Dream" were shattered also.

Criminals just don't get it.

Too bad! I had a really nice computer career until the Dot-Indians ruined the pay and froze out us older programmers.

F*** 'em - had to go teach Math/Science.

They should all feel lucky. They got a free flight “home”. Most countries would have put some lead in their head and buried them.

I would like to know what would happen to one of us if we entered their country illegally? Would they just fly us home at their expense or just throw us in jail for a few years??

My American dream is to see all the illegals and even plenty of the trash legally admitted to our country deported back to the chitholes they came from.

I suggest they go the route of my ancestors and become legal citizens, learn English and blend into the American culture.

Aha! Another hater unmasked!

That is the part of the story that would dissolve all sympathy. What does a person, especially an illegal, have to do to get sentenced to 14 months in prison?

They lie about EVERYTHING. He claims to have spent Rs 35 lakh which is nearly $40,000 USD, to get to the U.S. utter nonsense.

I don’t care, Harjinder. Find work in your own country.
