Eighty-eight Brazilian deportees, most of them handcuffed and shackled, were getting restless on Friday under the watch of U.S. immigration agents. The passenger jet, dealing with repeated technical problems, was stuck on the tarmac in a sweltering city in the Amazon rainforest.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Then the air conditioning broke \u2014 again.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">There were demands to stay seated, shoving, shouting, children crying, passengers fainting and agents blocking exits, according to interviews with six of the deportees aboard the flight. Finally, passengers pulled the levers to release two emergency exits, and shackled men poured out onto the plane\u2019s wing, shouting for help.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Brazil\u2019s federal police quickly arrived and, after a brief standoff, told the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents to release the deportees, though they had not yet reached their scheduled destination.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">President Luiz In\u00e1cio Lula da Silva ordered a Brazilian Air Force aircraft to pick up the deportees and take them the rest of the way. His government\u2019s ministers then publicly slammed the Trump administration\u2019s handling of the deportees as \u201cunacceptable\u201d and \u201cdegrading.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">It was those complaints about the Brazilian flight that President Gustavo Petro of Colombia was <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/petrogustavo\/status\/1883522921710158113\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">replying to on social media<\/a> when he announced Sunday that his government had turned away two deportation flights from the United States. That set off <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/01\/26\/world\/americas\/colombia-us-deportation-flights.html\" title=\"\">dueling threats of tariffs<\/a> between the United States and Colombia that ultimately ended in <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/01\/27\/world\/americas\/colombia-trump-deportation-flights-migrants.html\" title=\"\">Mr. Petro backing down<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The diplomatic dust-up over the deportation flights to Brazil and Colombia marked a turbulent first weekend for President Trump\u2019s hard-line policy to deport millions of undocumented immigrants.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The pushback from two leftist Latin American governments revealed the simmering discontent across the region over President Trump\u2019s vilification of its migrants as hardened criminals threatening the fabric of the United States.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">On Monday, Mr. Trump said of deportees that \u201cevery one of them is either a murderer, a drug lord, a kingpin of some kind, a head of the mob, or a gang member.\u201d The head of Colombia\u2019s migration authority said that in reality, none of the deportees who arrived on two flights to Bogot\u00e1 on Tuesday had criminal records.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-3\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Both the Colombian and Brazilian governments posted online thinly veiled messages to Mr. Trump, showing their citizens returning home and noting that they deserve respect. \u201cThey are free and dignified, and they are in their homeland where they are loved,\u201d Mr. Petro <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/petrogustavo\/status\/1884229094851895384\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">wrote on Tuesday<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The Pew Research Center estimated there were 11 million undocumented immigrants in the United States in 2022, including 4 million Mexicans, 2.1 million Central Americans, 230,00 Brazilians and 190,000 Colombians.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Petro had initially turned away the deportation flights because they were operated by the U.S. military, a recent change under the Trump administration. It was Colombian military aircraft that flew the Colombian deportees home on Tuesday. Mexico is not yet known to have received any deportation flights on military planes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The Brazilians were flown on a commercial charter. The Brazilian government summoned the top American diplomat on Monday to discuss the conditions of that flight. The government has repeatedly asked the U.S. government to shackle deportees only if they pose a threat, including in a 2022 call between Brazil\u2019s foreign minister and then-Secretary of State Antony Blinken, according to a summary of Brazilian efforts detailed in a 2022 government document.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">U.S. officials have largely ignored those requests, according to Brazilian officials and academics who track the issue. The U.S. government has deported about 7,700 Brazilians on roughly 95 flights since 2020, according to Brazilian officials. On many of those flights, ICE agents have chained Brazilian deportees at the hands and feet, officials said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-4\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Yet Friday\u2019s deportation flight to Brazil \u2014 the first of Mr. Trump\u2019s new term \u2014 was also the first to draw such public backlash from the Brazilian government. The difference on Friday, officials and passengers said, was the condition of the plane and the rough handling of the deportees by ICE agents.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">ICE did not respond to a request for comment.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">For many of the Brazilian deportees, the journey began weeks ago, with long bus rides across the United States \u2014 from California, Georgia, Arizona and Texas \u2014 to a federal immigration center in Alexandria, Louisiana. The men spent those rides handcuffed, sometimes for days.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In the early morning hours on Friday, ICE agents filled the passenger jet with the deportees, putting dozens of shackled men in the rear and women and children, who were not handcuffed, in the front, the deportees said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The flight, operated by a charter airline, GlobalX Air, had problems from the start. The passengers said that on first attempt, the plane struggled to take off. After a mechanic worked on a turbine, it departed, but passengers were uneasy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-5\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cThey started to question: If something happens, how are you going to take the shackles off 80 people?\u201d said Luiz Campos, 35, one of the Brazilian deportees, who was on the flight after spending six weeks in Texas detention centers. \u201c\u2018Please, take off these chains,\u2019\u201d he recalled people asking. \u201cThey said, \u2018No. It\u2019s protocol. It\u2019s always like this.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Tensions increased hours later during a refueling stop in Panama. Again the plane struggled to take off, and this time, three passengers described seeing smoke come from an engine on the wing. The incident also caused the air conditioning to stop working, they said, and the plane quickly became a sauna in the tropical heat.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Eventually the air conditioning was restored and the plane took off again. Hours later, it landed in Manaus, the largest city in the Brazilian Amazon. The flight was scheduled to finish in Belo Horizonte, Brazil, a city 1,600 miles to the south. Brazil\u2019s federal police said the plane landed because of a technical issue.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">GlobalX Air and ICE did not respond to requests for comment.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In Manaus, the plane then struggled to take off for a third time, again with apparent engine issues, passengers said. And then, again, the air stopped flowing inside the cabin.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-6\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cDesperation began to take hold. To be honest, I didn\u2019t think I\u2019d make it home alive,\u201d said Luiz Ant\u00f4nio Rodrigues Santos, 21, one of the deportees. He said his asthma began to kick in and he struggled to breath, so ICE agents brought him to the front of the plane and poured water on his head. \u201cThe kids started crying, the parents were screaming, desperate,\u201d he said. \u201cThat\u2019s when we decided to do something.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Santos and other deportees said that in the muggy cabin, the shackled men began pushing their way up the aisles, physically pressing up against ICE agents standing in the way. Agents and passengers shouted and pushed one another, and several deportees said they were struck. Then some passengers opened the emergency exits.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Within minutes, at least seven handcuffed men stepped out onto a wing. \u201cCall the police!\u201d one shouted, according to <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/Metropoles\/status\/1883367714779259296\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">a video of the moment<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Brazil\u2019s federal police eventually entered the cabin and ordered ICE agents to let the Brazilians go. With people at the airport looking on and taking video, the deportees said, the ICE agents sought to remove the shackles before letting them off the plane.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cBut no one would allow that. The passengers themselves said, \u2018No, now you\u2019re not taking off the handcuffs,\u2019\u201d Mr. Campos said. \u201cBecause if they removed the handcuffs, I think the story would be different.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-7\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">News broadcasts showed the shackled men shuffling across the tarmac. Brazilian officials then removed the chains and the passengers spent the night at the Manaus airport. On Saturday, a Brazilian military plane took them to Belo Horizonte.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">There they were greeted by Brazil\u2019s minister of human rights, Maca\u00e9 Evaristo. \u201cI\u2019m here at the request of President Lula,\u201d she told the passengers on the plane, according to <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/DFRay9ssNkV\/\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">a video<\/a> posted by the Brazilian government. \u201cOur position is that countries can have their immigration policies, but they can never violate anyone\u2019s rights.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-798hid etfikam0\">Ju Faddul<!-- --> contributed reporting from S\u00e3o Paulo, Brazil, and <!-- -->Genevieve Glatsky<!-- --> contributed reporting from Bogot\u00e1, Colombia.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- ItShrt World News -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"1882483372\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/01\/28\/world\/americas\/us-brazil-deportations.html\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Temperatures were rising inside the plane.
