Cry me a river!\n\nIf a significant portion of the U.S. population attempted to illegally reside in India, as example, we’d be called colonists

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)..

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.

Many Americans are happy because illegals are being deported. Trump is giving you what you need to be happy, drugs and racism. Maybe Mexico should stop sending drugs and all minorities leave the country, you will then turn to each other and collapse the country.

I don't understand why my countrymen would spend so much money to get into the US illegally. To work menial/paid-by-the-hour jobs? I don't see the allure. They could've easily started lucrative businesses with all that money and live comfortably

Looks like both governments wanted to send a message to the world, if people are going to another country, go by legal channels! No protection for illegal border crossing.

They are not just migrants - they are Illegal migrants - CNN get your facts right..

Communist news network, go away! Would you like us to sprinkle illegal aliens with fairy dust?!

My question is Who hired these workers? Are they being prosecuted as well? Did these illegal immigrants break any laws or commit any crime’s other than entering the United States illegally?

When I break the law, they put shackled on my hands and am a citizen. Do illegals have special treatment???

DEMOCRATS CAN'T COMPREHEND WHAT THE DEFINITION OF ILLEGAL MEANS. ABSOLUTELY PATHETIC!

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

These illegal immigrants need to get gone

Crazy \nHow the MEDIA insights HATE... An ILLEGAL is an ILLEGAL, not just in this county but all countries... Why are the Indians not burning their own flag, India treats their citizens like Shit and the Whole World KNOWS THAT ! ! ! In India you are either rich or destitute...??? That is why the Indian Government is still friendly with President Trump

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 ?

Perhaps the icc should issue a warrant for trump’s illegal deportations and breaches of human rights ✌?

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

Now you know how caste feels like. Aren't you guilty of disregarding universal rights and denying those in the lower caste to change their situation? If you want human rights then dont illegally enter other countries and dont trample on the rights of others if indeed you belive in human rights. Your police force alone is an embarrassment hitting people with batons for no reason. Work on your rights in your own backyard. You want your rights but dont respect the rights and laws of other countries. don't be one-sided

I don’t approve of illegal immigration, but that doesn’t mean I approve of their mistreatment either.\n\nShackles? Are you kidding me???

How big is the Indian % of illegals? Worth putting your relations with in India in jeopardy?\n100 removed 24 million illegals to go? Will the US build a functioning transportation system just to deport all their illegals ^^.

How come CNN never showed the millions of illegals that Obama deported. He also is the one who built the cages?

You spelled ILLEGAL immigrants incorrectly, and it’s amazing that this “journalism” is basing their story on speculation and hearsay.

They do that because we don’t trust you , illegals get out!!!!!???????? SufferNsilence Nuff Said!!!

Why is this news because prior to Trump deportation immigrants in the country illegally was always on a plane going back shackled on their legs. This is not new

If you cross the us border illegally then you are criminal ???

Strange, people who broke the law and entered America illegally are being treated like the criminals they are…?

What made Hindians think they should be treated special? They are in someone elses' country illegally, so they are just being treated like anyone other illegal aliens?By the way, America will smell more pleasant now.

You entered America illegally. You should have to pay for the flight. You're all criminals.

Who cares they entered the country illegally lived off of taxpayers money freely got everything they wanted and then they go protesting with the palestine's they committed a criminal offense by just being in the country illegally criminal is a criminal you're lucky that they sent you back to where you came from Trump could have done much worse and then you complain that your hands and feet were shackled in handcuffed and that you couldn't wash well well is that not a part of your religion anyways only bathed maybe once every couple of weeks circle screen for justice non-fair in your own country could you answer hours illegally you took from us you breathe our air and lift amongst us in our houses all freely so you stole from the country and its people think about that while you're complaining what you did wrong

USA government treated illegal Indian immigrants very well. INDIAN government usually kills illegal immigrates on their borders. I would say Indian people need to be thankful ??

That’s why you are not supposed to come here illegally. Get out and don’t come period!!!!

If they are criminals then they need to be safe while on board. U came illegally. Cry a river

They are illegal migrants and the shackles are for the safety of deportation officers. No harm done, they will be ok. I think the next four years will drag on, time is going very slow.

Were the illegal migrant Indians at least received a small meal of butter chicken?

Absolutely, they are going to be in shackles. We have to understand that all of these foreign nationals, violated America’s immigration and border security law and are in the country illegally. They are being deported to Guantánamo in Cuba. Why would any sane person suggest that these individuals be allowed to freely run around in an airplane? Once they get to Cuba, once they are processed at Guantánamo Bay, they will be unshackled and assigned to barracks.

Canada should do the same, illegals that commit crimes don’t deserve to remain in the country. Boo hoo, then respect laws.

That should be done to dissuade people from contemplating to venture into America illegally.

Our immigration policy is focused in four areas: first, strengthening border control; second, protecting American jobs by enforcing laws against illegal immigrants at the workplace; third, deporting criminal and deportable aliens; fourth, giving assistance to States who need it and denying illegal aliens benefits for public services or welfare.

their illegals not migrants

They should thank democrats for letting them come in illegally.

Obama deported 2.5 million people here illegally during his 8 yr. term ! And there was no push back from the lame street media !!

Migrant or illegal migrant ?

Try to sneak into India illegally. You'll be treated much, much worse.

Good don't come here illegally good job president Trump keep it up!!!????

Illegals. It's called illegal.

Come in illegally, you go back legally ??

1:24 “Treated like criminals” because they performed an illegal act. That sounds right!

This happens when you enter illegally.

these people commit a crime by entering another country illegally... of course, should be treated like a criminal
