Indians Hiding in Panama Jungle Amid Mud and Rains Before US Dash

New Delhi:  
Over a hundred Indians, who had attempted to enter the US illegally, were returned home – their hands and legs got shackled – on a special flight Wednesday. Many had sold their land and other possessions to pay 'agents' for their long, illegal journey across the globe.

Now, they’ve returned to where they began, with absolutely nothing.

Several details are beginning to emerge about how these people were brought to the US by agents who charged exorbitant fees, only to abandon them after getting them past the border fence undetected. Many claim they were left stranded by their agents in the mid way.

Videos have come up, allegedly showing Indians, including women and children, camping in a forest in Panama before continuing their long trek to Mexico and finally to the US border.

That particular footage shows several Indians setting up tents in a small forest clearing.

Men in rubber boots sitting in the mud, while women with infants on their laps are seen near the tents. In one of the video, the group is shown wearing raincoats amid heavy rainfall in the jungle. From Panama, their difficult journey would continue through Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Honduras, and Guatemala, before reaching Mexico, where they would attempt to enter  into the US.

The American military aircraft carrying 104 illegal immigrants from various states landed in Punjab’s Amritsar on Wednesday, bringing the 1st batch of Indians deported by the Trump administration as a part of its crackdown on illegal immigration.
