Brazil’s government decried the US after dozens of deportees arrived on a plane in handcuffs. The Brazilian justice minister called it a “blatant disrespect” of their rights.

    Please source that claim. All the news reports I saw reported the opposite.

      AFP reported talking to two people, the first had been in detention for 7 months before being deported in handcuffs and with tied feet, which would imply he was facing criminal charges in the US for something instead of just recieving the NTA. He was also not given water on the flight and not allowed to use the restroom, possibky due to his bound state. The second did not mention handcuffs at all and was complaining about no AC on the military aircraft. There appear to be no other interviews, no video footage of the flight or the people being ordered off the flight, and other news articles are citing the AFP for their reports of handcuffs and mistreatment.

          Ah okay, that’s still them being treated as standard criminals then and not violent criminals. Regular criminals get handcuffed for transportation too.

            In what way do violent criminals get transported that’s different?
