They stepped onto quicksand knowing fully well what could happen to them if they get sucked in. What they did brought them to this fate hence they are not right to complain but yes the Indian public who are seeing it happen have the right to raise their eye brows or frown upon those who hand cuffed & leg chained them during their entire journey. All I can say is that what happened is a Shame & we cannot blame the law nor the law makers nor who implement the law to be lenient to any one on the matter of their National Importance. All what we can do is submit a petition requesting for leniency for the next batches of returnees& May they never again break the law for personal gains nor to compromise the National security of any free country of this planet including The USA.

ofcourse they are criminal who breaks the law

If you have the proper documentation and entered the US legally, then you are legal and fine. \n\nIf you are in the US illegally then yah. . . You are breaking the law.

What you complaining about? You break the law, you get deported. I approve this action as an American

Every time I see this. It makes me feel like someone is trying to break into my house unannounced.

When Americans break laws we are shackled what makes these people any different….buh bye

Yes.. there should be consequences to breaking laws.. did you expect a limo and a continental breakfast… they were treated like criminals because they are..

When ya break the law ya end up in shackles. So Waaaaaa.

They’re treated like the criminals they are. This administration is making it crystal clear breaking US immigration laws is a criminal act

They break the laws and say they r treated like criminals.

If you break into my country or my house, you're a criminal wake up people, we are being invaded. It's called a color revolution to take America over from within.Thank God now American man can pick up these tech jobs that were stolen from them Americans... The party is over now?

That's how people who break the law are treated, in any country... Don't break the law and you won't be treated as such...

In a foreign country we should abide by their rules and regulations and live. Otherwise this will happen. How can India support those who break laws ? It is wrong to expect like that.

Why you people want to break a law please not looking good

These people are breaking the law and are considered criminals,desperation has taken over and I don’t know where they think they’re going but right into the hands of ice and when they get caught and deported , then, they want to get on social media and mainstream media with sad sob stories it’s sad and ridiculous

Go home. This is illegal immigrants breaking our laws. Stop them!!

When Americans break the law they must be deported as well no matter what the color of the skin. Law should be applied equally full weight.

Don't want to be in shackles? Don't break the law.

ONE WORD IF U BREAK ANY COUNTRIES LAWS AND ORDERS....U R A CRIMINAL... AND YES CRIMINALS...WEAR HANDCUFFS AND SHACKLES....THEY BROKE THE LAWS

Waaa!!!\nMaybe not break into other countries!!\nGO TRUMP GO HOMAN GO ICE ICE BABY!!!\nMAGA ????

Yeah I hate to break it to you but it's a simple law change actually makes it so that you don't exist then you don't exist the way you are trying to sell it

Give me a break. They are criminals. They entered illegally. Even in the US a thief transported would be put in cuffs. If very serious crime cuffs, chains ankle and belly etc.. They are in chains so that can't run away and put all the staff at risk. Even pregnant women. Worked in a women's prison and some of the pregnant women were some of the most dangerous.They like to use their pregnancy to get out of all sorts of stuff. ie can't be on top bunk and only less 26 weeks prego. So. don't buy their crap. All of these people were encouraged to self deport prior to pick up. So on them.

This is what happens when you break the law. You had no business being here to begin with.

*Criminals wear shackles and live behind bars.. It's just what happens to people who break the law.. grow up.*

If you’re illegal, you’ll be treated like so. That’s the norm for anyone who breaks the law. Plain and simple.

Anyone that breaks American laws IS a criminal. That’s the definition of criminal. Literally. They complain about the flight, I would’ve asked them to pay for the flight ticket. Why American people have to pay for them? Oh wait, maybe USAID paid for everything.

All Illegal immigrants are criminals.....therefore you are typically handcuffed. Just like if you were breaking into someone's house and you got caught.

Lol i have an idea for you. Dont break the law and youll never be in shackles ?

That's what you get when you break laws. Bye. Canada next. I acts entitled to America. It is not. This is your mesaage

YES THEY DID WRONG SO THEY SUFFER NOW AND ITS CLEAR MESSAGE TO LAW BREAKING CITIZENS OF INDIA.

Trying to force your way in is not the way to migrate! Come thru the door! You gonna break into Heaven too?

Good. U break the law...

Don’t break other countries law.

I flew to Iraq in a C17 3 times. I didn't break the law. I was serving my country. So why is CNN crying?

Breaking laws has consequences... simple.

When civil war breaks out CNN news can thank themselves for starting it with their lies,,, that's if they CNN are still around , not in the ground,,,,, oh well

Give me a BREAK they are CRIMINALS and last TIME I took a tour against my will I was handcuffed and Shackled as an American CRIMINAL..thank God I BEAT THE CASE..but a CRIMINAL is a CRIMINAL point blank

They could easily have avoided that if they had not entered a country illegally. The US handcuffs criminals and the minute you illegally cross the border you’re breaking the law.

Not true, please watch Indian External Affairs Minister Jai Shankar addressing this issue in the Indian Parliament, besides its the Law in America, you break the Law and want to be treated nice? Not happening.

If one commits a crime of breaking US laws in US, what should we do? Give them a trophy? Immigration laws are laws that only criminals break. So, why should criminals not be treated like criminals? That's what they are. If you do not wish to be treated like a criminal, don't commit crimes.

Don't break the law. Then they wouldn't be in shackles.

Who cares!!! They are criminals. If you break the law you lose your rights.

What, they break the law and we’re supposed to give them a 5-Star treatment? Being shackled is not a crazy concept.

You guys at cnn makes it seem like any person in the world can break laws, so whats stopping me now. I might just start breaking every law in canada lol

And what is the lesson here? Don't break the law in foreign countries!

Ohh, what a shame. Maybe if they didnt break the law they wouldnt be in shackles.

Most of the indian youtube and news comments are that they are shaming india by breaking the law in other countries apart from a few of them.....??????

My question is Who hired these workers? Are they being prosecuted as well? Did these illegal immigrants break any laws or commit any crime’s other than entering the United States illegally?

When I break the law, they put shackled on my hands and am a citizen. Do illegals have special treatment???
