Two Colombian air force planes carrying deportees from the United States arrived in Bogota on Tuesday (January 28), the government said, paving the way for U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration to lift visa restrictions and other measures on Colombian citizens.Colombia’s President Gustavo Petro averted an economic disaster over the weekend after diplomats from his government and the U.S. reached a deal on deportation flights in a dispute that had led both countries to threaten tariffs and the U.S. to impose visa measures.One plane, flying from San Diego, California, brought home 110 Colombians and the other, which departed from El Paso, Texas, brought home 91, the Colombian Foreign Ministry said on X.Petro had objected to the use of U.S. military planes to deport Colombians, saying his country’s citizens were being treated like criminals, and he had refused to allow planes to land. n18oc_world n18oc_crux0:00 INTRODUCTION3:47 “MIGRANT IS NOT A CRIMINAL”5:45 ICE TO TARGET ‘THREE CITIES FOR IMMIGRATION ARRESTS EVERY WEEK’7:02 TRUMP’S BORDER SZAR SAYS ‘MIGRANTS EDUCATED ABOUT HOW TO DEFY ARRESTS’
