Colombian President Gustavo Petro has declared that Bogota will not accept US deportation flights until migrants are guaranteed dignified treatment. In response, US President Donald Trump threatened to impose significant tariffs and visa restrictions on Colombia. Petro emphasized that migrants must not be treated as criminals and must instead be allowed to return to Colombia through civilian flights. The escalating conflict indicates a tough stance against Trump's immigration policies, with Colombia standing firm on its position regarding human rights for migrants.
"A migrant is not a criminal and must be treated with the dignity that a human being deserves, Petro said. That is why I returned the US military planes that were carrying Colombian migrants."
"The threat comes after Colombian President Gustavo Petro said his government would not accept flights carrying migrants deported from the United States until its administration creates a protocol that treats them with dignity."
