Residing in a country is not a criminal issue.

It is a civil issue.

Know the difference.
They are been deported, sometimes they are shackled for their own safety. Some of them might jump off the plane. Besides, they are criminals.

The article doesn't say they are criminals.

I am sure there are better ways to handle this with civility.

The Colombian president showed how it could be done.

Tie them up, shackle them, cuff them, put them in the box, they deserve it.


Why are the Indians afraid of going back to India? They have Sanjev, Sunita and Amitab and bollywood.

Trump called them VERMINS.

That means they are in the same class as RATS.
And the people carrying out his orders will treat them as such.

FOOLS don't know what they've done.

Trump has ZERO charisma!
His entire APPEAL to his base is that he gives them the go ahead to be their WORST selves.

He shows them that it's GOOD to be BAD.

Obama raised the bar TOO HIGH.
His existence compels people to strive to be better.
He made it seem like success hinged on being suave, charming, intelligent and eloquent.

The fact that he was black made it even WORSE!

A black man took the standards of the American society into the stratosphere.

Trump brought it back into the GUTTER.
And he's NOT stopping.

Obama made people introspective and want to be better, Trump said you can NEVER be bad enough. Especially if you are white.

Trying to be like Obama is HARD.
Trying to be like Trump is EASY.

And Trump's base is full of people who like to take the EASY way out.

Uneducated people who think they should be making MORE money than immigrant Software Engineers LOOOVE Trump.

That's why when Trump shiiits on immigrants, it gives them orgasms.

So EVERYTHING Trump is doing right now is GOLDEN.

The more HORRIBLE immigrants are treated, the more FANATICAL they become.

So immigrants and ALL people of colour should get ready, RACISM is cool now.

The biggest FOOLS in the last US election are WHITE WOMEN and People of Colour who voted for Trump.

White women practically provided empirical evidence as to why women are often called FISHBRAIN.

53% of white women VOTED for Trump.
A sexual predator whose main victims are WHITE WOMEN.

Now, Trump is systematically ROLLING back the rights of people whom he deems LESSER.

Right now, it's the illegal immigrants. Soon it'll be LEGAL immigrants. Then it'll be AMERICAN citizens of the WRONG shades.

Finally, it'll be the turn of white women.

Democrats got SCREWED in the last election because they made the FATAL mistake of TRUSTING women.

I said, SOMETIMES they are criminals. Again, it is for their own and the crews safety. Some deportees have tried to jump of airplanes or stab crew members who are just doing their jobs in protests about their deportation. Believe it or not. I know.

Colombian president should provide jobs and a good country for his people then they wouldn't travel illegally be deported by the US

Trump is the over correction white people did after they got a black president . Their racism couldn’t handle it and so Trump seized the sentiment of the moment to rise to the limelight

We need a president like Trump in Nigeria. A lot of the insecurity problems we are suffering in Nigeria is due to porous borders,especially in the north.
I don't support shackling deportees though.

It is not a crime.

That's why people pay no penalty apart from return.

Yoi don't jail them, you don't fine them.
Google says.. "Yes, entering a country illegally is generally considered a criminal offense in most countries, meaning that crossing a border without proper documentation or authorization can lead to legal repercussions, including detention, deportation, and potential fines or jail time depending on the circumstances and specific laws of the country involved.
Key points to remember:
Varying severity:
While illegal entry is considered a crime, the severity of the penalty can differ based on the country, the individual's circumstances, and whether they have any prior immigration violations. "

Please get me right. Cross border migration is not the issue here. That is understood. Dumping huge population into another country for ulterior motives is what am about. It should be discouraged.

So, you mean you are cool to see uninvited guests come into your house and take the rights of your children? Trump is not an idiot like many African leader. If you can't protect your family, then, you don't deserve to be a leader. Trump is cool with the legal immigrants but he's saying no to those who illegal intruders. I don't know what makes that a wrong move. If you can't accommodate an uninvited guest in your home, then, your epistle above is meaningless.

Re: 'Treated Like Criminals’: Shackling Of Indians Aboard 40-hour Migrant Flight by Konquest: 6:12pm On Feb 10, 2025

New Delhi, CNN — US officials kept around 100 deported Indian migrants in shackles for their 40-hour flight home, including during bathroom breaks, in the latest incident to spark anger overseas at President Donald Trump’s migration crackdown.

Indian lawmakers demonstrated outside parliament on Thursday, some wearing shackles and others mocking the much-touted friendship between Trump and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.


Elsewhere in New Delhi, members of the youth wing of India’s main opposition party burned an effigy of Trump.

Last month, the spectacle of Colombian deportees being shackled as they boarded a US deportation flight sparked a bitter dispute between the two countries, with Colombian president Gustavo Petro initially refusing the military plane permission to land.

The anger in India comes days ahead of an expected visit by Modi to meet Trump – whom he has called a “true friend” – at the White House.

S. Kuldeep Singh Dhaliwal, a government minister in the western state of Punjab, where the deportation flight landed, urged Modi to “now use his friendship to resolve the issue.”

Dhaliwal also questioned “the usefulness of this friendship if it cannot help Indian citizens in need,” his office said in a statement.

The flight to India was the longest in distance since the Trump administration began deploying military aircraft for migrant deportations, according to a US official.

“Our hands were cuffed and ankles tied with chains before we took the flight,” said 23-year-old Akashdeep Singh, who arrived in Punjab on Wednesday with 103 other deportees.


“We requested the military officials to take it off to eat or go to the bathroom but they treated us horribly and without any regard whatsoever,” Singh added.

“The way they looked at us, I’ll never forget it… We went to the bathroom with the shackles on. Right before landing, they removed (the shackles) for the women. We saw it. For us, they were removed after we landed by the local police officials.”

US Border Patrol Chief Michael W. Banks posted a video of the Indian deportees being put onto a plane on X. In the video, shackles are seen on the wrists and ankles of several men who shuffle slowly up the ramp.

CNN has reached out to the Pentagon and US Customs and Border Protection for comment on whether the deportees were held in shackles for the duration of the flight.

‘Better life, better future’
Deportee Sukhpal Singh, 35, also said the shackles were kept on throughout the flight, including during a refueling stopover on the Pacific island of Guam.

“They treated us like criminals,” he said. “If we would try to stand because our legs were swelling due to the handcuffs they would yell at us to sit down.”

Young Indians looking for work opportunities have made up a sizeable portion of undocumented migrants in the US, many after making the dangerous trek through Latin America to reach the US southern border.

Many say they see no future at home where a jobs crisis is stifling young hopes in the world’s most populous country.


In just four years, the number of Indian citizens entering the US illegally has surged dramatically — from 8,027 in the 2018-19 fiscal year to 96,917 during 2022-23, government data showed.

Families have previously told CNN how they sold off land to raise the tens of thousands of dollars charged by “travel agents” to take migrants on the risky journey to the US.


“I had gone for work, for better life, for a better future,” said Sukhpal Singh, who has a son and daughter and hoped to better provide for them by getting a job in the US.

“You see it in movies and you hear from people around you that there’s work there and people are successful there so that’s why I also wanted to go.”

A 40-hour air flight in shackles from the United States to India!

That's nearly 2 days just short of 8 hours. Tbh, they had to be shackled for safety reasons based off of past attacks on security personnel on deportation flights.
