Colombia caves on deportations after Trump threats

Colombia agrees to accept deported citizens on US military flights following President Trump's tariff threats, sparking criticism across Latin America over harsh deportation practices.

Colombia on Sunday backed down and agreed to accept deported citizens sent on US military aircraft, hours after President Donald Trump threatened painful tariffs to punish the defiance to his mass deportation plans.
Colombia's leftist president, Gustavo Petro, had earlier said he would only take back citizens "with dignity," such as on civilian planes, and had turned back two US military aircraft with repatriated Colombians.
Trump, less than a week back in office, responded furiously and threatened sanctions of 25 percent that would quickly scale up to 50 percent against Latin America's fourth largest economy.
Petro initially sought to hit back and impose his own tariffs on US products, but by the end of the volatile Sunday he had backed down.
Colombian Foreign Minister Luis Gilberto Murillo told a late-night news conference that his country had "overcome the impasse" and would accept returned citizens.
A White House statement said that Colombia has agreed to "unrestricted acceptance of all illegal aliens from Colombia returned from the United States, including on US military aircraft, without limitation or delay."
"Today's events make clear to the world that America is respected again," it said.
"President Trump will continue to fiercely protect our nation's sovereignty, and he expects all other nations of the world to fully cooperate in accepting the deportation of their citizens illegally present in the United States."
Trump said he would suspend implementation of the tariffs.
It had been unclear even earlier how quickly Trump could impose tariffs on Colombia, historically one of Washington's closest allies in Latin America, which enjoys a free-trade agreement with the United States.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio, whose wife is Colombian-American, suspended issuance of visas at the US embassy in Bogota and said visas would be revoked to Colombian government officials and their immediate family members.
The White House said the visa measures would stay in place until the first planeload of deportees returns.
Trump also vowed to subject Colombians to greater scrutiny at US airports.
 - Concerns over treatment -
Trump -- who during his campaign said that immigrants were "poisoning the blood" of the United States -- took office with promises to round up and swiftly deport undocumented people.
While some countries including Guatemala have accepted military deportation flights, Trump had faced resistance from Petro, a former guerrilla elected in 2022 as Colombia's first left-wing leader.
"The United States cannot treat Colombian migrants as criminals. I forbid entry to our territory to US planes carrying Colombian migrants," Petro wrote earlier on X.
The Colombian government earlier said it was instead ready to send its presidential plane to the United States to transport the migrants "with dignity."
Petro also said there were 15,600 undocumented Americans living in his country and asked them to "regularize their situation," while ruling out raids to arrest and deport them.
Petro's initial hard-ball tactics infuriated his many critics in the historic US ally.
Former right-wing president Ivan Duque accused Petro of "an act of tremendous irresponsibility" for refusing what he called Colombia's "moral duty" to take back illegal migrants and warned US sanctions would take an "enormous" toll.
 - 'Tied hands and feet' -
Trump's deportation threats have put him on a potential collision course with governments in Latin America, the original home of most of the United States' estimated 11 million undocumented migrants.
Brazil, which is also led by a left-wing president, voiced outrage over treatment by the Trump administration of dozens of Brazilian migrants deported back to their country on Friday.
The migrants, who were deported under a bilateral agreement predating Trump's return, were handcuffed on the flight, in what Brazil called "flagrant disregard" for their basic rights.
Edgar Da Silva Moura, a 31-year-old computer technician who was among the 88 deported migrants, told AFP: "On the plane they didn't give us water, we were tied hands and feet, they wouldn't even let us go to the bathroom."
"It was very hot, some people fainted."
The president of Honduras, Xiomara Castro, called for an urgent meeting of leaders from the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC) to take place Thursday in Tegucigalpa to discuss migration following the latest US moves.
While previous US administrations also routinely carried out deportations, the Trump administration has begun using military aircraft, with at least one landing in Guatemala this week.

Colombian President Gustavo Petro described Israel's siege of Gaza as genocide.

Colombia's president says country will break diplomatic relations with Israel over war in Gaza

Colombian President Gustavo Petro described Israel's siege of Gaza as genocide.

Colombian President Gustavo Petro on Wednesday announced his government will break diplomatic relations with Israel effective Thursday in the latest escalation of tensions between the countries over the Israel-Hamas war.
Petro again described Israel's siege of Gaza as &ldquo;genocide.&rdquo; He previously suspended purchases of weapons from Israel and compared that country's actions in Gaza to those of Nazi Germany.
&ldquo;Tomorrow, diplomatic relations with the State of Israel will be broken &hellip; for having a genocidal president,&rdquo; Petro said during an International Workers' Day march in Colombia's capital. &ldquo;If Palestine dies, humanity dies, and we are not going to let it die.&rdquo; Israel's Foreign Minister Israel Katz quickly rebuked Petro's comments on the platform X.
&ldquo;History will remember that Gustavo Petro decided to side with the most despicable monsters known to mankind who burned babies, murdered children, raped women and kidnapped innocent civilians,&rdquo; he said.
Weeks after the Oct. 7 Hamas attack on southern Israel that sparked the current war in Gaza and killed some 1,200 people, Petro recalled Colombia's ambassador to Israel as he criticized the country's military offensive.
Historically, Colombia had been one of Israel's closest partners in Latin America. But relations between the two nations have cooled since Petro was elected as Colombia's first leftist president in 2022.
Colombia uses Israeli-built warplanes and machine guns to fight drug cartels and rebel groups, and both countries signed a free trade agreement in 2020.
&ldquo;Relations between Israel and Colombia always were warm and no antisemitic and hate-filled president will succeed in changing that," Katz wrote Tuesday. "The state of Israel will continue to defend its citizens without worry and without fear.&rdquo; The South American country deepened its military ties with Israel in the late 1980s by purchasing Kfir fighter jets that were used by Colombia's air force in numerous attacks on remote guerrilla camps that debilitated the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia. The attacks helped push the group into peace talks that resulted in its disarmament in 2016.
Petro participated in Wednesday's march in Bogota to promote his proposed health care, pension and labor reforms.&nbsp;

Some 10 million people are being impacted by new restrictions that impose 24-hour water cuts every ten days.

Fewer showers, less laundry, as water cuts hit Colombian capital

Some 10 million people are being impacted by new restrictions that impose 24-hour water cuts every ten days.

Residents of Bogota are facing fewer showers, minimal laundry loads and dirty cars as the Colombian capital imposes water rations due to a severe drought aggravated by the El Nino climate phenomenon.
Bogota has become the latest major city around the world to face a water crisis in recent years due to intense dry spells and President Gustavo Petro vowed Thursday to boost investment to protect the valuable resource.
Some 10 million people in the Colombian capital and surrounds are being impacted by new restrictions that impose 24-hour water cuts every ten days by sector.
"The situation is critical," said Mayor Carlos Fernando Galan.
In the mountainous suburb La Calera in the sprawling Andean city, residents have already suffered occasional cuts since February, often resorting to tanker trucks that wind through the steep streets to deliver drinking water.
"There are things we can no longer do, like washing the car," said Clara Escobar, 36, a graphic designer who came to fill two buckets from the tanker.
"We shower less" and "we wash the clothes (only) when necessary."
<h3>Dams lowest in decades</h3>
A lack of rain and unusual heat has seen Colombia's reservoirs dry up at an alarming rate.
The Chingaza paramo -- an alpine wetland system rich in glacial lakes -- provides some 70 percent of Bogota's drinking water, and its dams are at their lowest level since 1980.
Environment Minister Susana Muhamad said significant rains were only expected at the end of April or early May.
Colombia is blessed with abundant freshwater sources.
Nevertheless, millions lack access to clean water as a result of severe water pollution, deforestation, and agriculture.
<h3>'Substantial change'</h3>
In a lengthy post on X, President Gustavo Petro said he had ordered "a substantial change" to ensure that in the next 30 years, the entire population has clean water.
"There will be droughts worse than the one we are facing," he said, adding that Bogota residents could now judge whether "unhindered urbanization" was sustainable.
He said half of the country's water supply depends on its moors, jungles and Andean forests "that have already been pillaged by 80 percent for agriculture or mining for construction."
Petro said the country had long prioritized urbanization at the expense of the "serious financing of adaptation to climate change."
He said at current investment levels it would take a century to provide clean drinking water and proper sanitation to the 17 million people who currently do not have it.
Petro added that providing these people with drinking water would cost $26 billion.
"That is absurdly irrational in the midst of a climate crisis that will worsen due to the growing consumption of coal and oil in rich northern societies."

A group of Star Wars fans joined efforts with the "New Life" Foundation in Colombia to give presents to children of vulnerable families ahead of Christmas.

"This is like giving a little piece of our heart to the children," he said.
Maria Eugenia Vazquez, former sex worker and grandmother of some of the children present, said she appreciated the gesture from both organizations.

Hundreds more toys were spread out in the central Plaza Veinte de Julio in Bogota in a symbolic act that for the sixth consecutive year seeks to draw the attention of citizens and the State on child sexual abuse.

Toys help tell stories of abused Colombian children

A stuffed rabbit spoke on Tuesday on behalf of a two-year-old girl with motor and language disabilities who was sexually abused in Colombia. 

Hundreds more toys were spread out in the central Plaza Veinte de Julio in Bogota in a symbolic act that for the sixth consecutive year seeks to draw the attention of citizens and the State on child sexual abuse.

A stuffed rabbit spoke on Tuesday on behalf of a two-year-old girl with motor and language disabilities who was sexually abused in Colombia: "She feels terror when her mother asks her uncle to take care of her because he takes baths and does inappropriate things in front of her."
Hundreds more toys were spread out in the central Plaza Veinte de Julio in Bogota in a symbolic act that for the sixth consecutive year seeks to draw the attention of citizens and the State on child sexual abuse.
"This year sexual violence has skyrocketed," said Angela Maria Rosales, national director of the non-governmental organization SOS Children's Villages Colombia, which promotes the event.
Between January and September of this year, 28,300 cases of alleged child sexual violence have been reported in the country, according to figures from the state-run Colombian Institute of Family Welfare (ICBF).
In the same period in 2021 there were 27,210 cases in which children turned to the entity for help.
The challenge, according to SOS Children's Villages Colombia, is to achieve greater efficiency in the judicial system that currently takes an average of four years to obtain a conviction against the adult abuser. Only 3% of the cases are attended and end in a conviction.
In the square a group of people held signs denouncing what they say is a "97% impunity" in cases of child sexual abuse.
In Colombia, there is already a tool that is about to come into force that could help in assisting child victims through a special investigation unit of the prosecutor's office.
What activists for children want is that it be implemented efficiently.

The victims were identified as six passengers and two crew members. It was not immediately clear if more than eight people were on the plane.

Part of the wooden stands collapsed during a bullfight in central Colombia Sunday, sending spectators plunging to the ground and killing at least four people and seriously injuring about 30, authorities said.
The disaster took place in a stadium in the city of El Espinal in Tolima state during a traditional event called "corraleja" in which members of the public enter the ring to engage the bulls.
Videos taken during the bullfight show a three-story section of the stands collapsing as people screamed.
"We have activated the hospital network in Tolima," Tolima Governor José Ricardo Orozco told local Blu Radio. "Four people have died, as of this moment: two women, a man and a minor." Authorities said about 30 people had been seriously injured Orozco said he had asked for the traditional "corralejas" to be suspended in Tolima earlier Sunday but this one was held anyway.
President-elect Gustavo Petro urged local officials to ban such events, noting that it was not the first time an incident like this had taken place.
"I ask mayors not to allow more events involving the death of people or animals," he said.
Current President Iván Duque on Twitter announced an investigation of the disaster.
"We lament the terrible tragedy registered in El Espinal, Tolima, during the festivals of San Pedro and San Juan, with the collapse of the stands during a corraleja. We will call for an investigation."

Colombian President Iv&aacute;n Duque on Friday said, a helicopter carrying him and several senior officials came under fire while flying in the southern Catatumbo region bordering Venezuela.
Duque said everyone on board the helicopter was safe, including the defence minister, interior minister, and the province's governor. A video released by the presidency showed several bullet holes in the Colombian air force helicopter.Duque did not provide the time of the attack or say who he believed carried it out, but several armed groups are known to operate in the area. The president said the "cowardly" attack would not make him stop fighting drug trafficking, terrorism and organized crime. 
Colombian authorities have not confirmed who was behind that attack, but they suspect dissidents from the now-defunct Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia guerrillas or the rebel National Liberation Army to have a role.
