On Sunday morning, Petro expressed his firm belief that "a migrant is not a criminal" and emphasized that they deserve to be treated with dignity. His decision to refuse the US flights was rooted in his objection to the manner in which migrants were being transported—specifically, that they were being handcuffed during their repatriation. Petro argued that such treatment was dehumanizing and counterproductive, insisting that any country returning migrants should do so with respect and dignity.
