Brazil's government expressed outrage on Saturday after dozens of immigrants deported from the United States arrived by plane in handcuffs, calling it a "flagrant disregard" for their rights.
The foreign ministry said it would demand an explanation from Washington over the "degrading treatment of passengers on the flight".
The government said 88 Brazilians were aboard the aircraft.
Edgar Da Silva Moura, a 31-year-old computer technician, was on the flight, after seven months in detention in the United States.
"On the plane they didn't give us water, we were tied hands and feet, they wouldn't even let us go to the bathroom," he told AFP.
"It was very hot, some people fainted."
Luis Antonio Rodrigues Santos, a 21-year-old freelancer, recounted the "nightmare" of people with "respiratory problems" during "four hours without air conditioning" due to technical issues on the plane.
"Things have already changed (with Trump), immigrants are treated as criminals," he said.

“…treated as criminals”
Imagine that
What if all the liberal tears could be used to completely refill the LA reservoir?
DHS started with violent criminals. Of course they should be handcuffed.
Probably isn’t necessary unless they are physically resisting deportation.
They broke the law, which makes them criminals.
They obviously might try to flee.
Handcuffs make sense.
Where’s the violation of anything?
Where’s the violation of anything?
It’s confusing the issue with logic.
Should have bid them farewell in the middle of the night in Ipanema.
Why can’t we helicopter drop from a safe 500 foot all illegals into their embassies and consulate properties?
Say, did't the current president of Brazil take the Biden path to office?
I call BS on their accounts of how they were treated.
“I’ll never grace the United States of America with my presence ever again! I give it only one Star!” - As posted on Yelp by an indignant Brazilian Illegal Invader
They ARE criminals, and considering how these countries tret THEIR criminals, they’re in no position to point fingers as if they can take the moral high ground.
And STAY OUT!
It's just a matter of how one reports the news....
Give them each a lei.
Did Brazil’s government invite them to their homes without the handcuffs ?
Of course they are treated as criminals, they ARE criminals. What part of illegal alien don’t they understand?
“...immigrants are treated as criminals,” he said.
As I understand it, Brazil requires a visa for an American to visit. What does Brazil do to Americans who enter/stay in the country without a visa?
F Brazil. If they don’t like the treatment, don’t enter the U.S.A. illegally. This goes for other puke countries.
