Continued from Page 1 This particular deportation that happened day before yesterday was somewhat different as compared to the earlier ones that have taken place for many, many years, as you would be aware of. This was slightly different in nature because, in the US system itself, it was described as a ‘national security operation.’ And that is perhaps one of the reasons why a military aircraft was used,” Misri explained.

When asked if alternative deportation methods were being considered, Misri said, “In so far as alternatives are concerned, we will consider any alternative that would be feasible.”

Regarding the last instance of deportation via military aircraft, he stated, “I will probably need to go and check the last time a military aircraft was used… I don’t have the information immediately.”

Misri also clarified that the Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) governing deportations has been in place since 2012 and was shared by US authorities.
