The president of Colombia, Gustavo Petro, announced this Sunday that he disallows any entry of planes with immigrants deported from the United States within the framework of the campaign against illegal immigration launched by the US president, Donald Trump.
“The US cannot treat Colombian migrants as criminals. I disallow the entry of North American planes with Colombian migrants into our territory,” Petro said in a message published on his account on the social network X.
Petro has thus called on the United States to “establish a dignified treatment protocol for migrants before we receive them.”
