External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar on Thursday (February 6) told Parliament of India that putting illegal immigrants in handcuffs while deporting them back to their country of origin was a US policy and that deportations have been happening since the year 2009.

The foreign minister also said that Indian citizens were falling prey to those operating 'illegal' emigration modes. His comment has come just a day after a US military flight brought around 100 immigrants back to India.
