US officials kept around 100 deported Indian migrants in shackles for their 40-hour flight home, including during bathroom breaks, in the latest incident to spark anger overseas at President Donald Trump’s migration crackdown.
Indian lawmakers demonstrated outside parliament on Thursday, some wearing shackles and others mocking the much-touted friendship between Trump and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
I was on a flight out of the UK once where someone was being deported - to India, I think. He was shouting at swearing, especially at families with children, and making life as difficult as possible. Apparently he’d been taken off two flights before for this behaviour, and figured it’d keep working for him. This time he had a retinue of some private security company to see him to the other end, some five or six big guys I think. I think in the end they sedated him.
