The UK government has reportedly deported over 600 Brazilians, including 109 children, in secret flights since August. These deportations have been described as 'voluntary' by the British government, which offered incentives of up to £3,000 (approximately R$ 22,813) to encourage voluntary return. The operation has been criticized for its secretive nature and for forcibly uprooting individuals from their lives in the UK, with allegations of a lack of transparency and potential human rights violations.
