AMRITSAR, (India): A United States military plane carrying illegal Indian immigrants landed in India's northern city of Amritsar on Wednesday (Feb 5), a Reuters witness said, deporting an unspecified number of people as part of President Donald Trump's immigration agenda.

Some local media reported that the flight was bringing 205 people back, while others put the number at 104, and that they were mainly from the northern state of Punjab, where Amritsar is located, and the western state of Gujarat.
