Colombia did not back down; it delivered a smackdown to Donald Trump.

This is gonna hurt for a very long time.

Do you really think it's a coincidence that Colombia would block U.S. military planes carrying immigrants just 48 hours after Mexico did the same?

No….

Colombia is no stranger to accepting deportation flights. Between 2020 and 2024, the third-largest U.S. trading partner in Latin America has accepted 475 deportation flights from the U.S. So, the refusal to accept the flight did not come out of nowhere; it was planned, and it stunned the White House, which was suddenly faced with explaining to its MAGA crowd why, first Mexico and now Colombia, is refusing to accept the deportation flights.
