Traffickers are using TikTok to recruit Indians for illegal US entry, charging $5,000 per person. Known as 'coyotes', they provide a journey plan involving a map, a car ride, and a woodland walk. Origin cities include Montreal and Surrey, with destinations like New York. Recently, 119 illegal immigrants were deported to Amritsar. This highlights traffickers' adaptation to using social media to evade increased crackdowns on illegal immigration activities.
