After outrage over the treatment meted out to Indian deportees from the US, which echoed in Parliament as well, external affairs minister S Jaishankar strongly defended in both Houses India's decision to accept illegal migrants sent back in an American military plane,

Indian Foreign Minister S Jaishankar has said New Delhi is engaging with Washington to ensure the adequate treatment of illegal migrants when they are deported from the US. India's opposition has alleged ill-treatment of 104 Indian nationals who arrived back in their home country yesterday on a US military aircraft.

A contingent of 144 additional Kenyan police arrived in the Haitian capital on Thursday, part of a U.N.-backed Multinational Security Support (MSS) mission that aims to support local police battling powerful gangs, Kenya's government announced on X.

One of the deportees told the BBC they had been handcuffed throughout the 40-hour flight, sparking criticism. But Jaishankar said he had been told by the US that women and children were not restrained.
