So what. They committed a crime and got treated like criminals. Keep crying

They are criminals so they will be treated like criminals.

This is very bad treating them like criminals . He can deport them . But this is not the way . And Mr. Trump also should also should be also should send away to his own original place as he is also a migrant

Treated like criminals?? They are criminals! Funny media!

Were they expected to be escorted by Private Jets followed by Rolls Royces, Criminals are treated like criminals

Treating like criminals, Oh they're civilised.

This is like thorn between two lovers. Sad seeing them being cuffed like criminals yet at the same time must respect and support the security of each country. \nLesson: Do things properly and legally. Try to work harder in your own land so you don't need to beg the mercy of others

Criminals were treated like criminals. Imagine that.

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.

Oh my gosh, of course you’re gonna get treated like criminals if you do something fucking illegal

There are immigrants in the USA, and then there are ILLEGAL immigrants in the USA, (Two different groups of people) and CNN is deliberately misleading their viewers, by calling them 'immigrants' when they are criminals that deliberately broke the law when crossed the USA border illegally. THAT is why they are being treated like criminals... because they are! (It's that simple folks.)

They are Chain like Slaves and Criminals!

My parents came to this country legally from India. They followed the laws and worked hard, everything done LEGALLY. You come to this country illegaly you have committed a crime, you will be treated like a criminal.

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.

Treated like criminals?because THEY ARE

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!

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.?

Oh my God why trick like criminal.?

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.

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

In handcuffs ?? Like criminals ??

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

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

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.

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

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!

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.

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.

Criminals treated like criminals !\nShocking—CNN -FAKE news ?

Title Correction: “Criminal Illegal Indians Get Sent Home in Shackles Instead of Imprisoned Like They Should Be

lol you were in cuffs because you disregarded a country’s border ? you’re being treated like a criminal because you are one.

Why ? They wanna be treated like Head of States. They entered another country illegally. That’s criminal.

Title of story misleading. Sounds like legal immigrants are being rounded up. Ignoring the crimes they committed. Leaving out the criminal history is poor reporting.

Treated like criminals?? They are criminals!!

Did you expect to be deported with the honor of a crown like kings? You were criminals and were treated as such. More power to Trump

Criminals are offended that they're being treated like criminals. Lol the irony

What do you mean treated like criminal they are they came through the back-door what do they don't understand

They were treated like criminals because they are criminals.

“Treated like criminals…” staying illegally in any country is a crime. \n\nHandcuffs on a 40 hours flight make sense: flight security, prevention of suicide attempts.

Shame on these for chaining women and talking human rights. They could only bully soft targets like these. Real criminals roam free there.

So, you broke into the country illegally and you're being treated like a criminal..?\nWhere's the surprise come in..?

So treating a Criminal like a Criminal is something Bad.\nI guess they think they should be given a First class trip back.\n?????

If you don’t want to be treated like a criminal, don’t enter The United States without permission. ??

Treated like criminals because they are criminals. They entered the country illegally and broke the law. They can prosecuted and sentenced to up to six months in jail.

Prison like treatment for criminals that broke the law by invading a country that is not theirs. Oh the horror.
