You missed the point where the people were cuffed the whole flight, were dehydrated and transported in military planes like cattle. That's why those planes were rejected.
The president send his own jet to get these people back because they are people not cattle.
So he saw these people were transported like cattle, dehydrated and mistreated, and instead of letting them get off the planes, he's sent them back in those same planes so he can retrieve them with normal planes?
Unless I am missing something, I feel like you'd want those people to not fly in a plane like that again.
Either the plane didn't take off in the first place, case in which rejecting it would make sense.
Or those planes landed in Colombia, then sent back so they can be brought in proper planes, extending the suffering for no reason.
The planes (there were two) landed in Brasil. I don't know if that's where they came from in the first place.
A note: Usually these people are brought back using normal commercial flights. Only this time they used military planes.
I see. I thought they landed in Colombia but were sent back to the U.S.
Thank you for the clarification
