Brazil expressed outrage after 88 deported Brazilians arrived in Manaus from the US, handcuffed and reportedly denied water or air conditioning during the flight. Justice Minister Ricardo Lewandowski condemned the "flagrant disregard" for human rights. One passenger, Edgar Da Silva Moura, described the "nightmare" conditions, including heat, dehydration, and respiratory issues. President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva mobilized a Brazilian Air Force aircraft to ensure the deportees reached their destinations with dignity. Brazil's Foreign Ministry has demanded an explanation from the Trump administration, which recently intensified immigration crackdowns under a 2017 bilateral deportation agreement.
