A US military plane began deporting Indian migrants, as per news agency Reuters, implementing US President Donald Trump’s hardline stance against an estimated 11 million undocumented migrants in the United States.

Speaking to Reuters on the condition of anonymity, an official said the C-17 aircraft has departed for India and would not arrive for at least 24 hours. India is the farthest destination of US military flights deporting migrants, with the Pentagon stating flights to deport over 5,000 migrants from El Paso, Texas, and San Diego, California. So far, military aircraft have flown migrants to Guatemala, Peru and Honduras.

Trump has often used the military to implement his immigration agenda. He has sent troops to the US Mexico border, used military bases to house migrants and military aircraft to fly them out of the US. However, Reuters reported that a military deportation flight to Guatemala last week likely cost at least $4,675 per migrant.
