The first flight with deportees from the United States to Brazil since Donald Trump's inauguration landed at Manaus International Airport at around 6 pm this Friday (24).
The aircraft, with 158 people on board, had Belo Horizonte as its final destination, but had to undergo maintenance, canceling its takeoff to Minas Gerais.
The Federal Police did not disclose the nationality of the passengers, but according to the Itamaraty, 88 are Brazilian.
The Manaus airport press office confirmed that the flight made a connection in the capital of Amazonas, but did not take off again on Friday.
The passengers were complaining about poor conditions on the aircraft.
In response, the crew activated the inflatable ramp for disembarking.
The passengers were taken to an isolated area at the airport, accompanied by a Federal Police officer.
A Brazilian Air Force (FAB) plane took the passengers to the city of Belo Horizonte, in the state of Minas Gerais.
