BOOM:

Earlier Sunday, President Trump slapped Colombia with 25 percent tariffs on all goods coming into the U.S., and he issued a travel ban and immediate visa revocations on “Government Officials, and all Allies and Supporters,” among other measures, after the South American country rejected two planes carrying migrants.
Petro previously said he will deny entry to the United States’s deportation flights as Trump’s immigration plan begins.



This is how it is done.

How what is done? You have no idea.

The president of Columbia responded within a couple hours to offer his own plane to return the migrants to Columbia.

And? His objection was to using military planes with people treated like animals. He hasn’t backed down from that position.

Of course he backed down. He doesn’t want tariffs so he sent a plane to pick up his citizens. Win for the U.S. They are back in Columbia at Columbia’s expense

Dear Lord! It’s ColOmbia!

In PP’s defense, the official White House statement called it Columbia.

This is what leadership looks like.

+1 can’t believe that Columbia had more decency than the US right now. Truly sobering (and terrifying)

Jeez, not knowing that it's colOmbia and not colUmbia seems to be a problem for both the "uneducated" right and "college-educated" left. lol

So with the misspelling is the WH referring to a town in Maryland (and in other states)?

They probably don't even know where the country is. "Oh wait isn't it in South Carolina?"

Right? $850,000 to send 80 migrants back to Colombia only to be turned around.

We’ve been deporting on civilian flights since the 50s. If you want to toss 1.3 million dollars worth of military flights around for a total of 400 illegals immigrants, don’t complain that the government is inefficient and wasteful.

I hope someone somewhere is tallying up how much Trump is costing the U.S. taxpayer.

There are these wasteful flights at $1 million a pop. All the Feds he’s put on administrative leave who are being paid to not work. Trump is a dork.

We could all switch to Postum. It's grain-based and all American.

This is beautiful!

You realize we can just choose a different coffee right? That’s the point, people won’t pay it, and they will suffer.

I was not aware coffee was a necessity.

I’ll take you’ve never had a retail or service job for $500, Alex.

This is a confusing and poorly written article. Sifting through it:

“A government source told AFP the deportation flight was not directly linked to any immigration orders issued by Trump upon taking office Monday, but rather stemmed from a 2017 bilateral agreement.” and “The plane which landed in Manaus was not a military aircraft, AFP journalists in the city confirmed.”

Agree with pps that deportees need to be treated humanely. Just not sure we have enough information about what really happened here yet.

Lost what exactly? This is exactly what we voted for and I love this.

Your dignity and humanity.

For what? They are criminals! They need to go back and their countries need to repatriate them. What don’t you understand? You want these illegal criminals here? Where is your humanity to their victims?????

Would you make Laken Riley have her rapist’s baby? Yes or no?

Let’s ask her which is worse, oh wait, we can’t.

Would you or wouldn’t you make her give birth to the monster’s baby?

DP, but no, she was in GA which would have allowed her to have an abortion up to 22 weeks.

Then why did you vote for abortion restrictions?

I don’t remember seeing it on the federal ballot?

SCOTUS overturned roe with Trump's picks genius.

Lady, you are absolutely unhinged. We get it — you respect the rights of criminal illegal aliens more than the rights of US citizens. You think the right to kill your unborn child is more important than the right to not be killed by an illegal alien. You have more interest in talking about the hypothetical rape pregnancy of a young lady who was raped and killed by an illegal alien, than the fact that the president of Colombia would rather hurt his country’s economy than take back his own citizens who were in the US illegally.

You have very bizarre priorities, and it is a mercy to us all that your party is not in power. -NP

The monster that killed laken Riley did it because he was a depraved murderer, not because he was from Venezuela. We also have depraved murderers right here from the US. And that is not because they were born here.

Omg give it up. We have no obligation to keep depraved murders from other countries in the US.

Aliens who murder in the US go to prison, so yes, we do keep them.

Right. So let's not let them in and we don't have to keep them when they once again murder...this time the victim being a US citizen.

What percentage of murders are committed by immigrants? Better yet, what percentage of immigrants are murderers?

Do you really not get it? Every single crime committed by an illegal alien, is a crime that WOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED IF THEY WERE NOT IN OUR COUNTRY ILLEGALLY. I’m upset you hate your fellow citizens so much, but I guess im grateful you want to keep losing elections.

Can you give me the illegal imigrant crime statistics between 2017 and 2020?

All that overstayed or illegally crossed committed a crime?

No, they did not. The immigration laws in this country are civil in nature. A violation of those laws IS NOT A CRIME.

We know that the felon got pissy and made a declaration on sm that he hadn’t thought out like a toddler.

Dear Lord you MAGAs are delulu. You know these flights have happened for years? With no media coverage or leaders calling out the treatment of the people being flown back.

Just saw this story. If coffee prices skyrocket, I’m ready for a revolt against the administration. Forget egg prices! Don’t care can find another protein source. There is no F***ing way I’m drinking tea.
