West Bengal Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari has directed district magistrates to establish holding centres for suspected illegal immigrants as part of the state government’s “detect, delete and deport” policy. The order follows the BJP government’s election promise to act against illegal infiltration. Officials said detained foreign nationals and released foreign prisoners awaiting deportation will be housed in these facilities temporarily. The move has drawn comparisons with immigration policies promoted by Donald Trump during his US election campaign. Opposition leaders are expected to raise concerns over implementation and detention procedures. (PC: HT)
