Petro Criticizes U.S. Deportations as Third Flight of Colombian Deportees Lands

2025-01-30 4

Colombian President Gustavo Petro condemned U.S. deportation policies after the third flight carrying deported Colombians arrived in Bogotá.

Petro compared current U.S. practices to historical injustices, suggesting that deporting individuals in handcuffs mirrored past mistakes.

He also expressed outrage at the deportation of children, calling them "criminals" unjustly.

Tensions escalated between the two countries after the U.S. faced diplomatic resistance, including Bogota denying two deportation flights earlier this week.

Petro has demanded that U.S. authorities respect "dignified treatment" protocols for deported migrants.
