Brazil's condemnation of the U.S. followed the arrival of deportees in handcuffs. After a flight emergency, Justice Minister Lewandowski criticized the treatment of deportees, labeling it a 'blatant disrespect' for their rights. In response, President Lula took decisive action, deploying a Brazilian Air Force aircraft to ensure the safe and dignified return of Brazilian citizens to their homeland. This incident highlights tensions surrounding international deportation practices and the emphasis on human rights by Brazilian authorities in protecting their citizens.
Brazilian federal police received the plane at the instructions of Justice Minister Ricardo Lewandowski and intervened, asking US agents to remove handcuffs from the deportees.
Lewandowski told left-wing President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva it was a 'blatant disrespect' of their fundamental rights, as per a statement by the Brazilian Ministry of Justice and Public Security.
Upon learning of the situation, President Lula ordered that a Brazilian Air Force (FAB) aircraft be mobilized to transport the Brazilians to their final destination.
