The article discusses the controversy surrounding the handcuffing and shackling of migrant criminals during deportation flights under President Trump's immigration policies. Countries like India and Colombia voiced objections, with Colombian President Gustavo Petro emphasizing the need for humane treatment. The article contextualizes these practices through a past incident in 2021, in which Haitian migrants on a deportation flight reacted violently upon realizing they were being sent back to Haiti, highlighting the reasoning behind stringent security measures during deportations to protect officers and ensure safety.
A migrant is not a criminal and must be treated with the dignity every human being is worthy of, Colombian President Gustavo Petro stated.
The best way for Americans to understand the case for cuffing and shackling is by retelling the recent true story that isn't far from the minds of career Department of Homeland Security officials.
