The news as it trends.
According to media reports, Colombia recently turned away two U.S. military deportation flights carrying about 80 Colombian migrants each.
Initially cleared for landing, the flights were immediately turned back after Colombian President Gustavo Petro revoked all diplomatic clearances for the aircraft.
President Petro criticized the use of military planes for deportation, stating that migrants should be treated with dignity and received on civilian airplanes.
The Colombian migrants are currently in the United States, and the U.S. government will need to determine the next steps for these individuals.
The U.S. had spent close to $1 million on the deportation process, making this incident particularly significant.
This highlights the growing tensions between the U.S. and Latin American countries regarding immigration policies and the treatment of migrants.
