Colombian President Gustavo Petro announced the use of a presidential plane to ensure the dignified return of Colombians previously blocked from landing due to US military deportation flights. This decision comes as a response to significant pressure from the US, which also led Donald Trump to implement emergency tariffs. Petro stated that Colombians should return home with dignity, expressing that migrants should not be treated as criminals. However, it remains uncertain whether this measure addresses future deportation flights or just the blocked arrivals.
A migrant is not a criminal and must be treated with the dignity that every human being deserves. That is why I ordered the return of US military planes carrying Colombian migrants.
In no way have Colombians, as patriots and subjects of rights, been or will be banished from Colombian territory.
