You can't dump millions of your citizens into another country and then refuse to take them back when the other country sends them back home.

Maybe millions of Americans should go fly over to Japan, illegally stay over there, then the US should refuse to take back our citizens when Japan sends them back? Absolutely unreal entitlement BS from Latin American countries.

How would you feel if the hundeds of people who overstayed visas in Great Britain (and I guarantee you there are in fact hundreds of people at this moment in that category) were dumped off in the US via a British military flight after being denied the chance to use the toilet for 24 hours. What if it was your daughter. Of course they are offended. Were are physically treating their citizens as if they are cattle, and then we are going to their country thinking we can get away with it and still have normal relationships with them? Pretend they are people equal to you and then think about it again.

I wouldn't feel anything, in fact, I'd high 5 the British for spankin' stupid Americans' arses who broke their laws.

Remember when that American was caned in Singapore for committing crimes? He deserved it, and I applauded the Singaporean govt for it. I wish he received more lashes for being a dumbasz.

You break laws in a foreign country, you get the book thrown at you. You go to a country like Thailand and break the law, don't expect to receive the best treatment in Thai prisons.

No one is going to give you white glove treatment back home if you come here illegally. There is no tangible evidence at all to support any of the claims. These are the same liars who come into our country trying to claim they're here for asylum purposes even though that's a lie.

Dude, when the american woman killed a teen in the UK by driving in the wrong side of the road, the US flew her back so she would avoid prosecution. The parents of the killed teen even came to visit Trump and he refused to send her back. And it was a car accident, she would not have had life in prison but hey, for Trump an American woman who kills a UK teen in the UK does not need to subject to UK justice. So give me a break.

Wasn't she a diplomat or something like that? (Still no excuse though) It was wrong to let her escape her crime but the US flew her back on their own dime. They didnt demand the UK fly her back at their own expense like some of the Latin countries are demanding of the US right now.

There is a process if countries don't take back their deported citizens the US can then not issue visas to that country so their citizens can travel to the United States.

So the threat of elite Colombians or Brazilians not being able to fly to Orlando to visit Disneyworld, go shopping in LA or NYC is actually is a serious threat. A lot of wealthy Colombians and Brazilians have condos in Florida.

This will lead other countries towards other trade partners because this kind of volatility is not beneficial to them. Who wants to be at the whim of a toddler?

So now we can pay a 25% tax on coffee. Is that part of the lowering grocery prices he promised? What a disaster this guy is and it’s only the first week.

Brazil is "outraged" with how their deportation flights were handled. Remember, these aren't deadly criminals.

Edgar Da Silva Moura, a 31-year-old computer technician, was on the flight, after seven months in detention in the United States.

“On the plane they didn’t give us water, we were tied hands and feet, they wouldn’t even let us go to the bathroom,” he told AFP.

“It was very hot, some people fainted.”

Luis Antonio Rodrigues Santos, a 21-year-old freelancer, recounted the “nightmare” of people with “respiratory problems” during “four hours without air conditioning” due to technical issues on the plane.

“Things have already changed (with Trump), immigrants are treated as criminals,” he said.

The flight was originally destined for the southeastern city of Belo Horizonte, but encountered a technical issue forcing it to land in Manaus.

A government source told AFP the deportation flight was not directly linked to any immigration orders issued by Trump upon taking office Monday, but rather stemmed from a 2017 bilateral agreement.

Brazil’s Minister of Human Rights, Macae Evaristo, told journalists that “children with autism ... who went through very serious experiences” were also on the flight.

Footage on Brazilian television showed some passengers descending from the civilian aircraft, with their hands handcuffed and their ankles shackled.

“Upon learning of the situation, President Lula ordered that a Brazilian Air Force (FAB) aircraft be mobilised to transport the Brazilians to their final destination, in order to ensure that they could complete their journey with dignity and safety,” the justice ministry said.

If someone dies on one of these flights other countries will seriously start turning on us. It’s inhumane.

Spread the word. You can die if you break into the US.

Brazil has informed Rubio that should this happen again the flight crew will be arrested and detained for violating the civil rights of Brazilian citizens. Lula is seriously pissed.

And really he won't care about threats of tariffs. He'll just sell soy, oil, steel, coffee, sugar, etc. to China. He already proved he will stand up to US bullying when he opened the commodities markets to transactions based on yuan and not just dollars and reais. Pissed Biden off with that.

Brazil is free to lease Gulfstreams to take back their illegal citizens. But it's unreasonable to object to the US using C-130s. At the very least, the US should be billing Brazil for the trouble. If Brazilians want to pay for a comfortable plane with meal service for their illegal migrants, they certainly can.

You realize there are MOUs in place right? But Brazil didn’t object to the use of military aircraft. They objected to their citizens being in handcuffs and ankle chains. They objected to their citizens being beaten onboard that flight. They objected to their citizens not being given water (or food).

Trump is welcome to do so again. But Brazil will arrest and detain the American flight crew. They will try them and jail them for violating the criminal laws of the country. In this case, it would have been 24 Americans. And they will begin requiring that all of these crew members have valid passports and, beginning April 10, visas. Otherwise they will be detained and deported. And the plane impounded until a lawful flight crew goes and gets it.

What Trump and his minions, like you, don’t get is that people won’t put up with the disrespect. Enough tariffs and the US will find itself very alone in this world. The “third world” as you like to call them, has a lot of experience dealing with hardship. Unlike pansy-a**es like you.

And over 15,000 Americans who live in Colombia need to sort out their immigration situation according to the Colombian President.

This is so dumb. Colombia is one of our best, loyalest friends (like Denmark). The fact he's going after these countries tells me he's more interested in helping our enemies than ourselves.

FAFO.

Maybe don’t illegally stay in a country.

F you. If we deport, I prefer to do it in a humane way, because we are AMERICA. But sure, let's act just like these awful countries we think we are so much better than.

How are these military transports inhumane? Are they chained up in there?

I love Colombia, been there many times, but they need to learn a lesson on this one. And while it looks like they are caving immediately, Trump needs to leave the measures in place for several months at least as a punishment. They need to feel the pain of defying us, and need to serve as an example to other nations. Even thought I love coffee, I’m sure we will be just fine!! That said, I’m also glad I have a second passport and will travel on that one for the time being!!

They need to block every single dollar that would typically flow to Columbia. And if another country helps them, block them too.

Yes, arm and leg shackles. No water. Can't use the bathroom.

Agreed. There should be at least 3 month punishment for this defiance. At least.
