Deportation flights from the U.S. to Colombia have resumed following a diplomatic confrontation between President Trump and Colombian President Petro, who blocked military planes for deportee repatriation. Instead, two Colombian air force planes were deployed after tariff threats and intense negotiations. In the early days of Trump’s second term, the DHS reported 7,300 deportations, including military flights to Guatemala. Concerns over the humane treatment of deportees have arisen amidst criticisms of the shackling practices during deportations. Travelers are advised to reconsider trips to Colombia due to safety warnings, while civilian alternatives are being emphasized in deportation protocols.
