The first flight of the year with the Brazilians deported from the United States is tomorrow

The first flight of this year is scheduled for Friday, January 7, 2022, connecting the United States with Brazil, which was intercepted at the border with Brazilians and expelled by “Uncle Sam”. As in previous seasons, this schedule predicts the departure from the airport in Alexandria, Louisiana, and the final destination, Belo Horizonte.

For service, the US government contracted a Boeing 737-800 aircraft from Swift Air (iAero) with a capacity of 189 passengers, although it is known that for security reasons the aircraft will not depart at its full capacity. The landing in the metropolitan area of ​​Belo Horizonte will take place at 4:00 pm on the 7th and the empty flight is scheduled for 8:00 am the next day.

Trick

Deporting aircraft to distant lands is a tactic that has proven to be very effective in preventing illegal migration. They have already taken home a significant number of illegal immigrants, numbering in the tens of thousands (some estimated at 60,000 that year), the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) points out.

While the majority of American society supports this initiative, especially during the Govt era, another opposes (or partially opposes). The Amnesty International The Biden government has been maintaining aircraft, particularly in relation to the evacuation of highly vulnerable people, such as Haitians, Hondurans and Guatemala, since it took a stand against them during its predecessor government.

Critic

No. Joint Document, A recently published, signatory organization accuses the United States of violating aspects of the humanitarian crisis in places such as human rights and Haiti, “by not properly analyzing or denying asylum and not allowing individuals to return to persecution or torture”.

In addition, Amnesty International reported that many of the expelled Haitians landed on deported flights sick, handcuffed, starved, traumatized and distracted. Jovnell Moss, food insecurity, health system “on the brink of collapse”, covit-19 risk in a country where disaster and vaccination rates are 0.4% after the recent earthquake.

Under the guise of public health, due to Govt, the United States used a legal provision to conduct mass evictions and prevent Haitians and others from seeking asylum. This practice has been widely criticized by the United Nations, health experts and human rights organizations because of its high risk of contracting the Govt-19 epidemic and contributing to racism, racism and discrimination in US border policies.

This time, Amnesty International called on the US government to stop deporting victims. As the number of deportation flights greatly increased during epidemics, it is certain that this theme should continue.
