Colombian President Gustavo Petro reversed his initial refusal to accept deportation flights for illegal immigrants after facing significant pressure from President Trump, who threatened emergency tariffs and sanctions on Colombian goods. This reversal illustrates the influence of US policies on South American leaders regarding immigration issues. Despite initial resistance and vocal discontent from Petro, he ultimately complied, even offering his presidential plane for transport. This incident highlights the power dynamics at play between the US and its neighbors, showcasing how immigration reforms are firmly within policy control rather than being overlooked as inevitable.
Repatriating illegal immigrants now makes you an 'enslaver.' Petro's not only the leader of his nation, he's apparently also a Barnard sophomore.
Trump is letting the world know he's dead serious about ending illegal immigration - and even the bumptious caudillos of South America are listening.
