Yeah, they’re criminals. They broke the law. That’s why they’re in handcuffs. Cry me a river geez!

Good. Bye. Um, they are criminals they came into the US illegally.

They’re treated like criminals because they ARE criminals! \nJust like anyone who litters, commits fraud, riots at a federal building, or j-walks. Crime is Crime, and we want JUSTICE ?

Trump dgas. His job is to head ‘em up, and move ‘em out. I thought was crystal clear in Nov. As long as we ain’t roughing them up, idc how we get them out of here. They’re supposed to be mostly all criminals first anyway. They’re probably all in jail in India now. \nAnd if you live in a world where you welcome this invasion, then Fed aid may be a problem obtaining.

This land has been STOLEN from the Indigenous people. Therefore unless you belong to the Indigenous population, we are in fact just as much an illegal immigrant and a criminal as those indians. Nothing more nothing less. So please stop crying about those indians, wich at least didn't steal land. BTW Indians belong to the least criminal group in the USA (check the stats)..

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

Who cares they are criminals

Nothing wrong with it. This is a standard procedure to avoid any mid air adventurism by criminal elements who might be among the deportees. The stupid opposition parties in India are just making noises. Just because they treat illegals from Bangladesh and Myamnmar as vote bank doesnt mean others will treat them as same. \nMost of these illegals are from Punjab and Haryana who come from big farming families (agricultural incomes arent taxed in India, no matter how much you earn).\n\nThey spend millions to pay smugglers to enter US and Canada illegally through South America or Mexico.

Because of the eyes of the immigration department since you broke the law by coming in illegally, they’re gonna treat it like a criminal, which is bogus. They are not tattooed or gang related. They just wanna work. Have a better life.

Americans Are Biggest Criminals

Criminals are criminals . They should be shackled , they're CRIMINALS ! !

Ur criminals …. Criminals were shackles! If u want them to be treated another way YOU COME GET THEM …it’ll save us tax money n hurry up!

Treated like criminals???? They ARE crimnals

1:25 Because they are criminals

Are they criminals?? If they are, they should be imprisoned and cuffed. If you're here illegally, you're a criminal are you not?

They are criminals. Not like criminals.

“We did something illegal and they treated us like criminals.”

Criminals !

That's the way criminals are transported the world over!!! Is CNN totally divorced from reality?

So they expected champagne and fancy treats? These were hard core criminals. Criminals are supposed to cuffed. I promise you they’re lying and even if this was true… they were still treated a heck of a lot better than their own government would have treated them

India should send airplanes to pick its citizens up. Thank you Trump. CNN was quite during criminal Biden .

Why is this news? It is standard SOP to handcuff detainees and criminals. CNN is such a joke.

They are criminals they illegally entered the United States bye bye

AMERICANS ARE HAPPY THESE CRIMINALS ARE LEAVING OUR COUNTRY. WE DON'T NEED OR WANT THEM.

Treated like criminals lol you entered Illegally

Perfectly right.... when you break the laws don't expect to be treated like kings..... and yes I'm pretty much Indian...... These guys are lucky.... Trump should send them back the way they came without anything on them instead of wasting fuel and american taxpayer money on their flights...... if they could dish out 50K USD to get there illegally.... they surely can find their way back and pay up.... or then keep them all in Guantanamo until they don't pay for their own airfare back. The people protesting in India are mostly the opposition who hates trump... the bunch that was financed by soros. It needs to be drummed into their thick skulls that they are criminals... not patriots.... that's why they will be treated like criminals.

They are here ILLEGALLY!!! So yes, they are criminals.

Criminals being treated as criminals ???

Criminals

They are criminals and they “Biden/Harris” used our tax money to ship them here. I support my tax dollars to send them back

They were treated like criminals? They are criminals . Illegal you get it CNN . Illegal vs Legal !!! Big difference

“They were treated like criminals” aren’t you a criminal when u enter a country illegally? I’m asking from Zimbabwe ?

THEY'RE CRIMINALS!!!! AT THIS POINT EVERY DEMOCRAT CAN GO F THEMSELVES.

That happens to criminals ?

This criminals terrorised our country and economy, I would suggest to Donald Trump to force air India to repatriate their criminal citizens or deny them to come here. The U.S. airlines don’t fly there and we shouldn’t allow them to come either.

I’m not saying to treat them unjustly, but technically if they came to US illegally they are criminals. Correct?

Wow, shocking that criminals were treated like criminals. I guess they should have tried to curry favor with the authorities. ?

You are shackled like a criminal because you are a criminal. You broke into our country which is no different than if you broke into my house. You are criminals. You should be shackled.

Define “CRIMINAL” ?? Someone who commits a crime \nDefine “CRIME”???

Indians outraged the US treats criminals like criminals. CNN lives in clown world. A government funded clown world as DOGE has been revealing at that.

If you break the law, You are a Criminal. They broke the Law.

After scrolling through all of those comments I saw everyone said that they were criminals so that they should be treated as criminals, well the PAB-trump is also a convicted FELON and he was never handcuffed or put in shackles. Instead his flotus elon paid so he could become the wannabe president and also his deplorable supporters couldn't see him going to jail and sooner or later they're gonna realize that their vote is gonna mess with their livelihood too. For me if they wanted to vote for him that was okay as long as what he wanted to do would only affect them, but of course not it affects the rest of us too and that's what pisses me off.

Let's not forget, they ARE criminals. You broke into a country and broke their laws. Let's get it right.

Expect to be treated like a criminal if you are in fact a criminal.

'We were treated like criminals. . . ' Ah, but you ARE CRIMINALS & were regarded as such as soon as you ILLEGALLY crossed onto our U. S. soil. That makes you a criminal see?

Treated like criminals? Imagine that.

This is great work ruining reputation and respect towards people of USA. USA became most hated around the world thanks to Trumpo and to like-minded criminal nationalists like him, all these bad actions will come back like boomerang and bite innocent citizens of USA. Law of Karma.

They are not migrants, they are criminals. Such bs is really old

What is it about a criminal President wanting to imprison everyone he think is illegal .He should be in acell to.

Well how are you supposed to keep criminals from going crazy and making the airplane crash?
