The Colombian president, Gustavo Petro, said on Sunday that his government would not accept flights that transport deported migrants from the United States until the Trump administration creates a protocol that treats them with “dignity.”
Petro made the announcement in two X publications, one of which included a video of news of migrants deported to Brazil walking on an asphalt with restricted hands and feet.
“A migrant is not a criminal and must be treated with the dignity that a human being deserves,” Petro said. “That is why I returned the US military planes that carried Colombian migrants.” The United States government did not immediately respond to a request for comments from Associated Press on aircraft and protocols used in deportations to Colombia.
