“After being quietly deported from the United States, 15 migrants from Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru told AFP on Wednesday that they endured a 27-hour flight in handcuffs and shackles before eventually arriving in the Democratic Republic of Congo, in a report by Emily Boyle.”
SINGLE SOURCE
The claim details a specific report by Emily Boyle to AFP regarding 15 migrants from Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru enduring a 27-hour flight in handcuffs and shackles upon deportation from the US to the DRC. While the web search results mention migrants from Colombia, Peru, and Ecuador being deported to the DRC (e.g., Foxton News, RTL Today), none of the provided evidence explicitly corroborates the specific details: the number (15), the duration (27-hour flight), the condition (handcuffs and shackles), or the specific reporter (Emily Boyle) reporting to AFP. The evidence is insufficient to confirm the full narrative, but the general theme of deportation to the DRC is present in the search results, making it more than 'insufficient_evidence' but not 'corroborated' by multiple independent sources confirming all details.
