No, cruelty is just a tactic to convey as negative a forced deportations experience as possible to an illegal immigrant. The point is actually to encourage self deportation and to discourage further illegal immigration. The folks going through this will eventually get back to their countries of origin with an ugly story to tell about their awful experiences of deportation. Some people tht hear of that experience and will opt out of taking the illegal path. News stories like this viewed and read here in the US motivate folks to take the easier self deportation path.
