Colombia will close the skies to planes from the US carrying deported migrants.

Colombian President Gustavo Petro has banned access to the country for US planes carrying deported citizens due to the inappropriate treatment of migrants by the American authorities, according to the words of the head of state himself.

“The United States cannot treat Colombian migrants as criminals. I do not allow American planes with Colombian migrants to enter our territory,” Petro wrote on the social network X.

The United States must establish a protocol for treating migrants with dignity,” the president added.

The day before, Brazilian authorities criticized the United States for deporting Brazilian citizens in handcuffs, calling it a violation of the rights of Brazilians.


On Monday, Donald Trump, in his first speech as the 47th President of the United States, promised to immediately stop the entry of illegal immigrants into American soil and begin the process of extraditing millions of migrants. He also declared a national emergency regarding the situation on the southern border of the United States.
