Immediately after landing Amritsar, people deported from America were investigated, only then they were allowed to go to their house on Sunday morning. Punjab and Haryana governments had arranged for special visit for the exile from both states. Meanwhile, a third aircraft is expected to land in Amritsar on Sunday with 157 deports.

This was part of the mission of sending illegal foreigners back on the first day of his tenure on January 20 by President Donald Trump. However, the exiled people claimed that their hands and feet were opened only after the aircraft landed in Amritsar.
There was an uproar over handcuffs
Jaspal Singh, a resident of Gurdaspur, who came in the first flight, told PTI, ‘We felt that we were being taken to another camp. Then a police officer told us that we are being taken to India. We were handcuffed and chains were tied to our feet, they were opened at Amritsar Airport. On 6 February, the US Border Patrol (UBSP) chief Michael W Banks shared a video, in which illegal Indian immigrants were shown to enter the C-17 aircraft by putting handcuffs in their hands and fetters in their feet.
