US embassy in India on Tuesday 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 US embassy said, "The United States continues to welcome legitimate travelers to our country. However, there is no right to visit the United States,"
"We cannot and will not tolerate illegal entry, abuse of visas, or the violation of US law," it added.
This comes a day after an Indian student was handcuffed and pinned to the floor at an airport in the United States before he was deported. A video was shared by X user Kunal Jain, an Indian-American social entrepreneur who writes books in Hindi, and recently relocated to India.
According to Singh, the incident occurred at Newark Airport. 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.
As per the ministry of external affairs, the administration of US President Donald Trump, since assuming power in January, has deported as many as 1,080 Indian nationals from America.

Meanwhile a massive protest was held in Las Angeles over US President Donald Trump's crackdown on illegal immigration.
Protesters set self-driving cars ablaze, blocked the 101 freeway, and clashed with law enforcement late into Sunday night, leaving parts of the city scorched and on edge.
The flashpoint came after Trump took the extraordinary step of deploying the National Guard to California without the consent of the state's governor, an act not seen in decades. More than 300 troops arrived over the weekend, with 2,000 authorised and 500 US Marines on standby.
Meanwhile, California governor Gavin Newsom told MSNBC that he will file suit on Monday against the Trump administration and called its order "an illegal act, an immoral act, an unconstitutional act."

IMFL prices to rise up to 85% as Maharashtra cabinet approves excise hike; rate on country liquor increased to Rs 205
The Maharashtra state cabinet has approved an excise tax revision, significantly increasing the price of ordinary whisky and rum by Rs 90-100 per quarter bottle, while premium IMFL brands will see a smaller increase of Rs 30-40. M UMBAI: The minimum price of Rs 115 for a quarter bottle (180ml) of ordinary whisky or rum will rise by Rs 90-100 with the state cabinet approving a revision in excise taxes Tuesday. While it is a rise of 78-85% for ordinary Indian-made foreign liquor (IMFL), the hit on the pocket is softer for premium IMFL brands, which will cost Rs 30-40 more that the minimum price of Rs 330 today for a quarter, or a rise of 9-12%. Besides a 14% excise increase for country liquor, the cabinet also approved a rise in the licence fees for permit rooms. Manufacture of a new grain-based foreign liquor, to be called Maharashtra-made liquor (MML), was also approved. The state govt, which has been looking for ways to increase its revenue to fund schemes and election promises like the Rs 1,500 per month Ladki Bahin dole for women, hopes to mop up an additional Rs 14,000 crore with the excise hike. The meeting that cleared the proposals was chaired by CM Fadnavis. A secretary-level study group had been formed to increase the revenue of the excise department. This group studied the best practices and policies in other states and submitted its recommendations and reports to the govt.
