London [UK], April 15 (ANI): The US State Department's Hindustani spokesperson, Margaret MacLeod, hailed the extradition of Tahawwur Rana, accused in the 26/11 Mumbai attacks, as a significant example of India-US cooperation against terrorism.
Speaking to ANI from London International Media Hub on Tuesday, MacLeod emphasised that Rana should face the law, calling the 26/11 incident 'horrific' and expressed hope that this cooperation would continue in the future.
'The extradition of Tahawwur Rana is a great example of the cooperation of India and US over terrorism. 26/11 was a horrific incident, and Rana should face the law, and I hope this cooperation continues in future,' she said.
Regarding US tariffs, MacLeod mentioned that President Donald Trump hopes for a good deal with India. 'President Trump hopes that there will be a good deal with India that will encourage business on the basis of justice and equality,' she said.
MacLeod also provided important information regarding immigration rules and deportation procedures in the US.
MacLeod stated that non-Americans planning to live in the US for over 30 days must register with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) using the CBP Home app.
'If a non-American wants to live in the US for more than 30 days, they should register with DHS, and there are new facilities for such people, which is a new app named CBP Home that people can use through their mobiles...' MacLeod said.
Regarding the deportation of Indians from the US, MacLeod advised individuals who follow US rules to have nothing to worry about, while those who violate migration rules, lie during visa interviews, or stay without permission should leave the country or use the CBP Home App.
'The number of people being deported to India and breaking migration rules are constantly changing... The people who are living their lives following American rules need not worry. The people who lie during visa interviews, give forged documents, or stay in the US without permission should better leave the American lands themselves or use the CBP Home App,' she said.
US Migration officials decide on using restraints on a case-by-case basis, prioritising security and safety
'The decision to send people in shackles depends upon the decision of migration officials. It is not done to children or women... In these groups, there are people with the accusation of violence upon them and we think about the security of other people, not just Americans... The restraints are used when it is necessary,' she added. (ANI)
