No water in the plane; Neither air conditioning, Brazilian handcuffs and fetters exiled from America
Rio de Janeiro:
Dozens of immigrants deported from the US arrived in Brazil by aircraft in handcuffs. The Brazilian government has expressed displeasure over this. She has said that she will ask for clarification from Donald Trump administration. The Brazilian External Affairs Ministry said that the behavior of immigrants during homecoming is a “fierce disregard” of human rights.
The dispute has come to the fore at a time when Latin America is struggling with US President Donald Trump’s anti -immigrant agenda. Since returning to power a week ago, Trump has implemented his action on irregular migration and collective exile. Illegal immigrants from many aircraft are being transported to various countries like Guatemala and Brazil.
When one such plane landed in the northern city of Brazil, the authorities allegedly found that 88 Brazilians aboard the aircraft had handcuffs. The Brazilian Ministry of Justice said in a statement that they ordered the US authorities to “remove handcuffs”.
The statement said that Justice Minister Ricardo Levandowski told President Luiz Eneasio Lula da Silva about “the gross neglect of the fundamental rights of Brazilian citizens”.

Trump’s Immigration Action
Donald Trump promised to take action on illegal immigration during the election campaign and launched a series of actions with the aim of improving the entry in the US. On the first day of his tenure, he signed orders to declare “National Emergency” along the Southern American border and announced the deployment of more troops in the area, resolving to deport “criminal foreigners”.
From Monday, many exile flights attracted the attention of the public and the media. However, such actions were common during the reign of previous American presidents.
