Brazil slams US after dozens of deportees arrive handcuffed

[Dulcinea]

(AFP) Brazil's government expressed outrage on Saturday after dozens of immigrants deported from the United States arrived by plane in handcuffs, calling it a "flagrant disregard" for their rights.

The foreign ministry said it would demand an explanation from Washington over the "degrading treatment of passengers on the flight".

The spat comes as Latin America grapples with US President Donald Trump's return to power bringing a hard-line anti-immigration agenda, promising crackdowns on irregular migration and mass deportations.

1. The ugly American syndrome rises again. And trump bullying. Such an asshole.

2. GRR! Maybe the international community can do something about the take-over

orchestrated by The Fucking Felonious Grifter, and his band of deranged destroyers.

3. I'd say maybe they should refuse the flight like Mexico...

but then the people have to come back to the US and lord knows what happens to them here...camps? we need more investigation into where these folks are being held and how bad conditions are

[orangecrush]

9. They are blocking off

All roads of investigation.

4. Who can write Us a Story on How Much Brazil was getting Paid by America

He cut everyone off in South America and Central America

5. Time for the Latin American countries

to fuse together into a real Latin American Union, sort of like the EU. Everything from Mexico southward. That would have the potential to be a bigger player in world trade instead of having all these countries be on their own. It would be very difficult, though, given the history of crime and corruption there.

6. China has been working on unifying South American under Chinese control.

Funny how all of Trump's behavior helps China and Russia.

7. It needs to be independent of the major powers

But it would be very difficult.

8. China has been setting debt traps in SA and Africa countries.

China gives countries huge loans for infrastructure, only Chinese companies allowed to use
the money to build in those countries. The loans can never be paid back by the SA or African
countries so China owns the countries lock, stock and barrel.

China has also had troops stationed in Africa for decades.

CSIS (via Axios) reports there are nearly a dozen Chinese space support facilities in South America.

Meanwhile, Der Fuhrer is pissing off South American countries. Pu-Hao.

11. Yes Putin plans to take control of Europe, China will take the Pacific, SA and Africa.

Trump thinks he is getting North and Central America.
And Greenland.

China has been working on Africa and SA for decades.

12. Sounds like a combination of "Risk" and "1984," but Orwell underestimated China when he wrote it in 1948.
