“The emancipation of the working class will only be achieved by the working class itself.”

A total of 334 Indian citizens had been deported from the U.S. to India by the Trump administration as of February 16. They were kept handcuffed and shackled for the duration of the 40 to 60 hour military flights.
They were not convicted of any crime or accused of any terrorist acts. An Indian civil liberties group rightly calls their treatment torture and accuses Indian officials of violating the Indian constitution by accepting that Indian citizens are treated this way.
Colombia refuses to accept deportees in handcuffs and shackles, after Biden tried deporting Colombians this way in 2023. Mexico and Brazil also refuse.
It’s already torture enough for the U.S. to rip people away from the lives they have built here. Dividing working people only benefits the exploiters.
