I'm sorry you didn't like being cuffed and shackled, but you came into a country Illegally. That's what happens to criminals in America. I'm sure you will get over it. The Indian people are good people, we just want them to come in Legally.

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

Shackles because they are CRIMINALS. Come on CNN. Who cares HOW they get there. Its not NY, they do not get free meals and comfortable accommodations. They get sent back where they belong. They ARE criminals CNN, get over it.

Right! But the actual Criminals Texas Opens the Gate an let's them Walk Through!

Treated like criminals?because THEY ARE

1:23 Umm you are criminals, thats why you are being deported lol

They broke our immigration laws. That is a criminal act. They think they are entitled to do this.

This is a complete disgrace! India, a nation with a history of resilience and struggle, is once again humiliating its own people to appease external powers. The British ruled us for centuries because we betrayed our own, and now history repeats itself—except this time, it's not the British, it's our own so-called leadership bowing down.\n\nWe are not criminals like the U.S., invading countries for selfish gains. We are not as bold as Israel, standing firm against the world to protect its people. Instead, we are spineless when it comes to defending our own dignity. Handcuffing an Indian citizen and sending them on a military plane like a terrorist—what kind of message does this send to the world? That India is weak? That we are puppets willing to humiliate our own just to satisfy some foreign pressure?\n\nIt is shameful that even after 75+ years of independence, we still act like a colony, treating our own worse than enemies. If our leaders had even a fraction of self-respect, they would never allow such a disgraceful display. This is not just about one person—it is about the dignity of our entire nation!

They are criminal. What is the big deal?

You’re being treated like criminals you enter into the country illegally so you’re a criminal that’s the law. Now you guys know what Black people feel like, and we were actually brought into the country against our will.?

I think those criminals are treated pretty well.

Oh my God why trick like criminal.?

Yea of course what do you expect to do with criminals ! Criminals are treated in this way handcuffed, in chains and send back to Gujrat , haryana etc

Deport all illegal criminals!!!!

This is a big insult to India. Yes they're illegal migrants but keeping them handcuffed and shackled like criminals with no food for the entire journey of 41 hours is unjust and inhuman. There was a four-year old child among them who was also treated like this. As Indians we should condemn US for this instead of lauding them.

Deporting illegal immigrants is one thing, but they aren't criminals, so why chain them? This treatment seems so vindictive and trying to prove a point kind of a treatment.

They are criminals, so they treated like criminals. DHS go on with law enforcement.... well done!

In handcuffs ?? Like criminals ??

WHY is everyone SHOCKED that they are shackled? They came into the US illegally which means that they BROKE THE LAW, which in turn means, they are CRIMINALS! Imagine being the pilot of that plane? Would you feel safe flying that plane, knowing that behind you, there are angry, unshackled, illegal criminals ready to maybe storm the cockpit, in the hopes to turn back the plane to the US? lol.

If you have immigrated somewhere illegally that would make you a criminal in that country. Criminals tend to get arrested and put in handcuffs. What exactly is the problem here?

This is violation of Human Rights...how can they treat people like animals and criminals ?

Punishment for Criminal Act is always acceptable but inhumanity is never acceptable.

They're in USA illegal, they're criminals!!

Illegal criminals were handled like illegal criminals. And return safely unharmed.! Anything beyond that is drama queen pathetic propaganda for your feelings!!! Anything beyond that is manufactured fake news for an agenda!!

Calm-U-Nist News Network, this is why your business is going to collapse because you're still attempting to call criminals something other than what they are?

All criminals when they commit a crime they are shackled illegal migrants are no different bye bye???? CNN you are disgusting

Treated like CRIMINALS?!?!\n\nThey ARE criminals, you propagandists!

If they are criminals then White people living in USA , Australia and New Zealand are more criminals because they killed the Natives.

It's good they were treated like criminals.... spending money in crores to enter USA...it wud hv bn better if they wud hv used this money in India n started some good work.

“Treated like criminals”\n\nLmfao they ARE criminals when they enter the country ILLEGALLY

They were treated like criminals because they are criminals. (They are 'illegal' in the USA.) ?‍♂️ CNN doesn't even know the basic laws of the country. It's insulting and embarrassing to the American people when news broadcasters like CNN show a lack of intelligence. It humiliates and insults the American people's knowledge on a global scale. People from other countries who are watching this may now question American intelligence.

Well they are criminals duh. Come the right way and you wont be shamed. This is new America now. Trump 4 Ever

Yes they are criminals ?

Indian here if you enter another country illegally you are a criminal you spent $10000 dollar to enter America which you could have spent here and lead a life of respect but NO !! You should be greatfull to American taxpayers that they are paying for you return

Wow . Criminals treated like they broke the law. ? This must be illigal or something.

Indians are angry on USA for deporting their criminals they are right the don't want those criminals ???

Why are interview people who broke the US border laws. I don’t make the rules just seems counterproductive to interview “criminals” who say they were treated as “criminals”…

On the next flight they taking illegals and criminals who don’t want to go back to their own country, lock the cockpit, don’t put them in handcuffs and load the plane with a bunch of msnbc and cnn reporters to interview them! It would be like the movie ConAir but except for the pilot no one would care what happened to the passengers!

These were illegals criminals who are being deported! They don’t want to be on this planes!! They’re not getting first class seats and being served food and drinks and being sent to cities in red states and being paid to vote Democrat!! If they’re weren’t handcuffed it’d be ConAir all over again!! How stupid are these clowns!!

Thank God Trump is enforcing laws. Criminals are treated like criminals. That is beyond CNN thinking.

Come in illegally, leave illegally. Criminals are treated like criminals. How unusual.

There are so many illegals Indians here. . They have taken all the jobs. ., In Brampton nobody else can get work. . They are also very rude and racist. . Lots of them are criminals. . It’s time for Canada to start deporting illegals . These Indians act as if this is India. .They don’t behave as if they are immigrants. . Enough.

All these people are criminal inva ders, imo. The same with the boat arrivals in the UK. Our puppet govt are geno ciding the indigenous Whi te pop, allegedly.\nre negade tribu ne dott kom

They are criminals, what did they expect? Come here illegally, you go home as the criminal you are.

Their criminals. Duh!! Play stupid games win stupid prizes.

Criminals get cuffs

Just like America is sending illegal immigrants back to their country.\nSimilarly, illegal Bangladeshi and Rohingya infiltrators must also start being sent back to their countries.\nIllegal immigrants and their supporters are all criminals. \nThose who are supporting illegal immigrants should also be thrown out of India.

They are criminals. They illegally entered the country. We know nothing about them.

ALL criminals are transported in handcuffs
