The Brazilian Ministry of Foreign Affairs plans to seek explanations from the United States government about the “degrading treatment” of Brazilians on a deportation flight, the ministry wrote on X on Saturday night.
Last Friday, Brazilian deportees in the United States arrived in Brazil. Upon arrival, some of the passengers also reported abuse during the flight, according to local reports.
The plane, which transported 88 Brazilian passengers, 16 security agents from the United States and eight crew members, was originally scheduled to reach Belo Horizonte in the southeast state of Minas Gerais. However, he made an unchanging stop in Manaus, the capital of Amazonas, due to technical problems, according to the Ministry of Justice of Brazil.
There, the Brazilian officials ordered the elimination of the wives, and President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva appointed a flight of the Brazilian Air Force (FAB) to complete their trip, the government said in a statement on Saturday.
The flight was the second this year of the United States that transported undocumented migrants back to Brazil and the first since the inauguration of the president of the United States, Donald Trump, according to the Federal Police of Brazil.
Officials of the US National Security Department and the United States immigration and customs control contacted on Saturday night to comment did not respond immediately.
