Colombia’s President Gustavo Petro will not allow planes from the United States carrying migrants on deportation flights to land in the country, he said in a post on X in the early hours of Sunday morning.
Officials from the US Department of Homeland Security and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement did not immediately reply to requests for comment.
Developing
How much foreign aid do they get?, turn it off
We’re going to give them parachutes and drop them off
About $400M per year.
Well then say goodbye to the foreign military financing (FMF) you’ve been getting.
They’re your ILLEGAL ALIENS.
Your country sucks so bad they felt forced to leave.
Look in the mirror, a h*le!
Land the planes in Panama then use catapults to complete the route.
The United States has provided billions of dollars in foreign aid to Colombia since 2017.
The amount of aid provided varies by year and the specific needs of the country.
FY 2025
The Biden administration requested $2.2 billion in foreign assistance for Latin America and the Caribbean, which includes Colombia
The request included $444 million for Colombia to support counter-narcotics, peace accord implementation, and Venezuelan migrants
FY 2024
The administration requested $444 million for Colombia to support counter-narcotics, peace accord implementation, and Venezuelan migrants
FY 2017–2023
The U.S. provided approximately $278 million in Foreign Military Financing (FMF) to Colombia
Total
The U.S. has provided more than $1.5 billion in assistance to Colombia since 2017 to support peace accord implementation
The U.S. also provides aid to Colombia for other purposes, including: Emergency food assistance, Procurement and depot level repair, Strengthening tenure and resource rights, Inclusive justice activity, and Migrant support.
They’re Colombians. Why don’t you want your own people back?
economic sanctions starting with 100% tariffs.
Well ok then. Maybe we train them into a military and let them take over the government that hates their own people.
According to this

it was $740M for 2024. One of the largest, if not THE largest. And I’m not certain that the numbers include USAID’s PlanColumbia money.
It’s okay for Petro puff like a blowfish for his home crowd, but when push comes to shove President Trump has that near trillion dollar aid stuff to ‘help us defray the cost of doing something with THEIR illegal criminals we caught.’
That’s fine. Just drop ‘em in the ocean.
Maybe a little bomber escort to crater their runways is in order. Tell them we can drop of their citizens or drop off these pavement pounders. Your choice.
Poke a finger in Trump’s eye? See what happens!
Gustavo is going g to be getting a phone call. 😏
Give? Sell. No parachute, you’re still leaving.
Cocaine trafficking funds violent Marxist organizations (e.g., Peru’s Shining Path). Wondering how that would play out if the official government militaries lost US funding to fight them.
Just bringing YOUR people home for free
