The Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's response to the deportation crisis of undocumented Indians in the US has been notably subdued. Despite public protests and outcry from opposition lawmakers regarding distressing visuals of deportees, Modi's comments during a US press conference indicated a readiness to address the issue without confronting President Trump. Modi emphasized the vulnerabilities faced by undocumented migrants but avoided a strong stance against Trump, reflecting a desire to maintain diplomatic ties while showcasing the government's view on immigration.
"These are children of very ordinary families who are lured by big dreams and big promises, many brought in without knowing why they are being brought in."
"Modi was simply trying to avoid a Volodymyr Zelenskyy-style bust-up with Trump, especially with negotiations ongoing regarding reciprocal tariffs."
