US officials kept around 100 deported Indian migrants in shackles for their 40-hour flight home, including during bathroom breaks, in the latest incident to spark anger overseas at President Donald Trump’s migration crackdown.
Indian lawmakers demonstrated outside parliament on Thursday, some wearing shackles and others mocking the much-touted friendship between Trump and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
I was on a flight out of the UK once where someone was being deported - to India, I think. He was shouting at swearing, especially at families with children, and making life as difficult as possible. Apparently he’d been taken off two flights before for this behaviour, and figured it’d keep working for him. This time he had a retinue of some private security company to see him to the other end, some five or six big guys I think. I think in the end they sedated him.
So what you’re trying to say is that that single guy justifies any of this? Or are you trying to say that all Indian citizens behave like that guy?
What ARE you trying to say here?
Neither. I’m sharing an experience loosely related to the issue at hand. The point, if any, might be to give some context to why deportees might be handcuffed in some situations.
Do you think, if I splash droplets of water on the flames of your fury, that means I agree with what happened?
