Riots and hijackings — why ICE cuffs and shackles some deportees

By Todd Bensman as published February 18, 2025 by The New York Post

The latest liberal outrage over President Trump’s border policies is the fact that some migrant criminals have been handcuffed and shackled for their flights back home.

India objected when a C-17 arrived in New Delhi with 104 restrained deportees. And Colombian President Gustavo Petro set off a brief diplomatic row by turning back the first US planeload of deportees because many wore leg restraints.

“A migrant is not a criminal and must be treated with the dignity every human being is worthy of,” an indignant Petro posted on social media. “We will welcome back our fellow countrymen on civilian planes, without a criminal’s treatment.”

Missing from this outcry is any explanation of why this is necessary. more

    Wrong, Pedro!
    A Columbian citizen who invaded our country ILLEGALLY in fact IS a criminal.

    Not only should you “welcome them back”, maybe you could explain why they chose to endanger themselves to escape your paradise down there!!

  2. Anyone who enters the United States of America ILLEGALLY is a CRIMINAL, BY DEFINITION.

    So:
    Fuck Off,
    Eat Shit,
    And Die.

    They have no dignity; if they had any dignity they’d have stayed at home and tried to make their shithole livable.

    “The receiving country should be happy that we land the plane before we return the illegals.”

    …considering what they sent us, they’d probably prefer they WERE kicked out at FL 300..

    “When they reach cruise height, depressurise the cabin. Result, law-abidin, tranquil Haitians”

    …if youre strapped in at the front and the rioters in the back are not, a sudden dive will peace everyone out in a hurry too, some of them permenantly…

  5. Hey Petro! Amigo!

    How ’bout we mistakenly include a horde of criminal “migrants” in your shipment that aren’t even Colombian ??

    So long as we don’t cuff them and you treat them with dignity?
    Would that make you happy, pendejo ??!!
