Brazil's government decried the US after dozens of deportees arrived on a plane in handcuffs. The Brazilian justice minister called it a "blatant disrespect" of their rights.

We are all guilty of crimes at some point. Maybe speeding, or parking somewhere without permission, driving when you may be intoxicated, taking some office supplies home, not noticing that your license plate had expired, a million other things.

The point is that any one of us could be arrested and convicted if the authorities decided it was worth their while to.

You are in favor of these people being deported without even judicial review, because you are in no danger of being harmed by the government's actions. Yet.
