Brazil outraged after US deportees arrive handcuffed, Colombia to refuse US deportation flights

Brazil has reacted with outrage after 88 of its nationals arrived in their homeland handcuffed following their deportation from the United States. Brazil blasted Washington over its “degrading treatment” of the passengers and its “flagrant disregard” for their rights, demanding an explanation. Colombia, meanwhile, said it will not allow US deportation flights to land in the country.
