Brazil’s government decried the US after dozens of deportees arrived on a plane in handcuffs. The Brazilian justice minister called it a “blatant disrespect” of their rights.

Brazil is full of nazis too, and they would do this exact same thing to another country.
Ask wannabe dictator Bolsonaro how things turned out to him in Brazil.
“blatant disrespect” of their rights… Yeah, that’s the subtext of this administration.
Trump II: blatant disrespect of their rights.
Coming to an everywhere near you!
Their first mistake was thinking Donnie Shitbag’s admin thinks they’re human. Their second mistake was thinking they care.
Other source for you:

That link seems to suggest they then immediately caved and are now doing the opposite. Also, why would it be right to not let your own citizens back into the country after they get sent home? What, they’re supposed to say we don’t want them just put them into ghettos I guess?
The big issue here is they’re being treated as criminals who committed violent crimes and it’s a disgusting sight for everyone involved except racists. A lot of these people are innocent people, some who have been here for over 15-20 years and have entire lives and families in the US.
That’s why most of the talks here were around Colombia sending their Presidential plane to pick up their citizens. They weren’t rejecting the people, they were rejecting the way in which it was done.
Mexico is also doing similar things rejecting military aircraft, but still allowing the deliver of Undocumented immigrants. Sheinbaum has also been preaching a lot on welcoming everyone home, most of LATAM has had the same perspective from what I’ve read and seen.
The issue with this is, they are criminals. Entering the country without proper documentation or overstaying a visa is a crime. Columbia and Brazil can complain all they want about how they are being treated as criminals, it doesn’t change the fact that they are.
We are all guilty of crimes at some point. Maybe speeding, or parking somewhere without permission, driving when you may be intoxicated, taking some office supplies home, not noticing that your license plate had expired, a million other things.
The point is that any one of us could be arrested and convicted if the authorities decided it was worth their while to.
You are in favor of these people being deported without even judicial review, because you are in no danger of being harmed by the government’s actions. Yet.
It’s a minor offense. Carrying a small fine and 6 months in jail.
How does that justify treating them as violent criminals?
The issue with this is, they are people. Entering the country without proper documentations or overstaying a visa does not change that. The US can complain all it wants about the rest of the world wanting them to treat these people with basic dignity, it doesn’t change the fact they deserve their basic dignity.

I endorse this comment.
Sadly the problem isn’t going to solve itself like that. We need to channel that anger into action. There are many non-violent actions we’ve yet to try (including a general strike) but they’ll take lots of organization. Violent options may be needed as a last resort as well, if history is any indication. Hopefully there’ll be support from the rest of the world.
Were they convicted of a crime? If you’re gonna be technical, you smug little shit, you technically have to be convicted of a crime to be a criminal. None of them were, so they weren’t criminals.
Yeah, I keep reading about the rejections and thinking about how many people might have lived if the rest of the world had just accepted the deported Jews from Germany.
what about if the world had tackled the threat of Hitler sooner? do you think MORE caving in and capitulation was the lesson we should have learned?
Don’t worry Brazil we also decry the US and we live here.
Don’t worry
Actually, do worry!
EVERYONE FREAK OUT, HONESTLY
This is going to have such long lasting impact
All that influence and goodwill the US accumulated after WWII is going to dust
As Putin planned.
The children in cages at the border from the first time come to mind.
Which never actually stopped, just got rebranded and less media attention
Hey man I hate to point this out but these countries don’t give a fuck all about how they treat you if you violate the law in their countries. Is it fucked yes all around.
Source? While they may have some corruption, they also have functioning judiciaries and laws in place to protect civil rights. It’s not like they just execute people for minor violations
Weird how the population is fleeing in masse from such a utopia.
Go to the Philippines and get accused of selling drugs, go to mid East and talk shit about Islam. Be gay in Africa, talk shit about Putin in Russia, Hong Kong talk bad about China, go down south and trespass, the list is endless. Must be nice to think the entire world is Disneyland California.
I uh, think they were talking about Brazil… Also it’s not exactly novel that governments care more about how other countries treat their citizens than they do about how they treat their citizens.
no you see “not USA” is this amorphous “other” where you get to pick and choose parts from different countries and jerk yourself off about how great USA is.
Frankly I’m impressed this guy knew so many countries.
Lol I have nothing but love for the Portuguese, in Brasil, Portugal or anywhere in the world. I apologize if I offended you.
