Modi urges US-India cooperation to combat human trafficking as deportations rise

Prime Minister Narendra Modi emphasized the need for India and the United States to collaborate on dismantling human trafficking networks. He highlighted the plight of victims misled by false promises during a joint press conference with President Trump. Recent US deportations of Indian immigrants have increased, with over 1,100 deported in the past year. The US is using military flights to expedite the process, causing distress among Indian nationals, especially those who have lived in the US for years. Data shows a significant rise in illegal crossings by Indian migrants, particularly through the US-Canada border. Modi's call for cooperation aims to address human trafficking and improve legal frameworks in both countries to protect victims and manage immigration.
