Several illegal Indian migrant workers who were recently deported from the US have recounted their ordeal to BBC Punjabi, describing humiliation, debt and shattered dreams.
At least 54 men, who had entered the US through the "donkey route" - often used by traffickers to facilitate illegal crossings - landed in the country's capital Delhi on Sunday.

Of the 54 deportees who returned on Sunday, BBC Punjabi met 15 men in Haryana's Kaithal district who say they are now uncertain about their future.
Harjinder Singh, a farmer who had spent 3.5m rupees (£29,653; $39,624) to go to the US four years ago, said he worked there as a cook - a job he took so that he could support his children back home.
"My hopes have been dashed, it is a pity that I could not do anything," said
Mr Singh, adding he cannot forget the humiliation he was put through during the deportation process.
With all his savings gone, he is worried about his children's future.
Another deportee, Naresh Kumar, said he had sold land and paid 5.7 million rupees to agents who promised to get him to the US.
He left for Brazil in January 2024, from where he travelled to the US. "My relatives kept giving me money from time to time while I was on the way," Mr Kumar said.
But before he could start a new life there, Mr Kumar was arrested for illegally entering the country. "I spent 14 months in jail and then they sent me to India."
BBC Punjabi has reached out to the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) for comment.
Meanwhile, Rajat Pal from Karnal district who reached the US via Panama, described his journey as "very dangerous".

Let me guess, they spoke to the same BBC involved in this little controversy:
Boo—frickin’—hoo.
Indians figured they’d makeout like bandits in the US,
selling land, paying out all that money, to get here.
Yep- they KNEW they were sneaking in the back door and whine like babies when they are caught.
IMO, the ‘humiliation’ they suffered wasn’t enough. How much did they steal from American workers and taxpayers. Fix your own damn country instead of bringing your third world crap here.
If they had entered the nation LEGALLY you wouldn't have a story to write.
Write a story about THAT!
You could pitch the article as a Public Service Announcement.
Fix your own damn country instead of bringing your third world crap here......

You got that 100% right.
The biggest criminals are the “agents” - these are guys who took thousands of dollars from these men to smuggle them into the USA.
The men lost all their money, but the “agents” are laughing to the bank

Why am I laughing about that?
Harjinder Singh spent $39,624 to get to the US four years ago, and got a job as a cook -
What....no trucking jobs available ?
Agree on this. Illegal migrants are illegal migrants are illegal migrants, here, in the UK or anywhere else. Illegal migrants are illegal migrants are illegal migrants. Even Mexico is deporting these days. It’s an interesting time....
That wasn’t part of the package.
BBC Punjabi should do a story on all the Indian trucker drivers crashing their trucks and killing Americans.
The only way to stop this mess is to heavily fine and imprison the employers. Congress has done nothing, ever, as usual.
Illegal migrants are illegal aliens and only illegal aliens.
It's a word game. Don't play their game.
BBC Punjabi should do a story on all the Indian truck
drivers crashing their trucks and killing Americans.
They dont have that much airtime.....snx.
The BBC did those stories. Farming it out to the Punjabi branch was too...colonizing.
