He tagged the Indian Embassy, as well as external affairs minister S Jaishankar, seeking help for the boy. “I witnessed a young Indian student being deported from Newark Airport last night— handcuffed, crying, treated like a criminal. He came chasing dreams, not causing harm. As an NRI, I felt helpless and heartbroken. This is a human tragedy,” he posted on his social media handle.Meanwhile, the US embassy in India reiterated its stance on illegal immigration and said that it will not tolerate violation of any laws or visa abuse.In a social media post on X, the official handle of the US embassy said, “The United States continues to welcome legitimate travelers to our country.
