White House says Colombia agrees to take deported migrants after Trump tariff showdown

Sovereign actions of sovereign Governments mean zero to Trump.

Must be a lot of foot stomping in the White House.

Do returnees need foot shackles and manacles ?

Treat people with dignity....and Colombia will accept the people.

BTW flying a couple hundred people out, even daily, wont even come close to the "millions of illegals " the MAGA crowd claims are in the US.

trump spending $850,000 to fly 80 people on military aircraft. in leg-irons for photo ops.

everything is for show.

the good news is tariffs will make some oil products and coffee prices go up, so americans can be richer, per his logic.

those 475 flights the last four years weren’t a problem.

Earlier Sunday, Petro said that his government would not accept flights carrying migrants deported from the U.S. until the Trump administration creates a protocol that treats them with “dignity.” 

They are criminals. Petro is free to shower them with “dignity” after they arrive in Colombia.

trump spending $850,000 to fly 80 people on military aircraft. in leg-irons for photo ops.

These are the worst-of-the-worst convicted criminals who engaged in very violent crimes - these are not "80 people" - these are 80 animals with no respect for life

Travel above....well shouldnt they be in US prisons for offences on US soil ?

Methinks you exaggerate a little.

"Animals with no respect for life "

Any evidence to support this hyperbole ?

The game is OVER for Radical Left politics in South America, its absolute death knell, turning promising nations into DISASTER ZONES riddled with corruption, crime, and economic misery. Resource-rich Colombia is now a complete and utter joke, having succumbed to the same FAILED ideologies that destroyed Venezuela and is once again crippling Brazil. It's the SAME STORY: Leftist/Marxist policies promise "utopia" but deliver NOTHING but poverty and chaos, all while blaming the "evil imperialist" U.S. for their own self-inflicted failures.

Thank God that at least Argentina has finally woken up from its SOCIALIST NIGHTMARE and is clawing its way back to sanity - proof that rejecting Uber Leftist ridiculousness is the only path to prosperity for everyone willing to work. Colombia had BETTER learn fast, or it's headed straight for the same abyss as the rest of the continent. Hopefully these measures are a wake-up call.

Sovereign actions of sovereign Governments mean zero to Trump.

Must be a lot of foot stomping in the White House. Uncle Stompy can be another nick name for Trump.

Do returnees need foot shackles and manacles ?

They broke the law, yes, with the help of Myorkas and Biden, but they came in illegally.

Treat people with dignity....and Colombia will accept the people.

No, their people, they broke the law and Colombia needs to take them back, that simple, we don’t have to be nice about telling them to take back their own people, which they now agree to do.

Well, we are just getting started, more work ahead. This is what happens when you have a strong leader, things move quickly and in your favor, didn’t take long.

Yes Jay, I am sure the nations of Latin America all agree with you...not.

Tell me...why does the USA intervene whenever a "leftist Government " is ELECTED ?

Doesnt the US respect the outcome of the ballot box?

And why would voters keep electing "leftist " parties ?

Colombia accepted 475 deportation flights from the United States from 2020 to 2024, fifth behind Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico and El Salvador, according to Witness at the Border, an advocacy group that tracks flight data

Here's some suggestion for not having migrant influx.

Don't disturb democratic elected government in the first place.

So those countries will have stable economy and government, where people doesn't need to flee their country.

https://www.npr.org/2023/09/10/1193755188/chile-coup-50-years-pinochet-kissinger-human-rights-allende

What were the Democrats thinking in the first place, allowing these hardcore criminals to enter, and remain in the US?

good grief, the fox news link is so slanted and misleading. the presidential plane was offered before the military flights.

and all the people on the flights were already scheduled for deportation before trump took office.

again, the other 475 flights weren’t a problem until trump’s grandstanding.

He'd better get used to countries standing up to him.

Just because his own party is terrified of him, doesn't mean everyone else is.

Bass...quoting "fox " to support your argument.

Say it isn't so !

colombia just slapped 25% tariff on u.s. goods. a country the u.s. runs a trade surplus.

columbia will just source from china.

see how that works? americans will pay higher prices for goods from columbia and columbia will shift imports from the u.s. to china.

art of the deal, right?

The "art " in "Art of the deal " needs an "F" in front .

Yes Jay, I am sure the nations of Latin America all agree with you...not.

They will.

Tell me...why does the USA intervene whenever a "leftist Government " is ELECTED ?

Maybe now and especially because so many illegals come from leftist nations.

Doesnt the US respect the outcome of the ballot box?

Yes, and he has a mandate and 72% want him to send these people back.

And why would voters keep electing "leftist " parties ?

Huh?

This ends with Colombia capitulating.

It already ended:

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/colombian-leader-quickly-caves-after-trump-threats-offers-presidential-plane-deportation-flights

Who says 25% tariffs don’t work?

“The tariff would rise to 50% after one week, Trump said. The president also ordered a travel ban and visa revocations for all Colombian government officials, plus "allies and supporters."

Bass....hows that "close Gaza down and move Palestinians to Jordan and Egypt " idea coming along ?

It may be a novel idea to you, but I think the US history in Latin America is appalling , an affront to human rights and an affront to self proclaimed ideas of democracy.

"Legacy of Ashes " is a history of the CIA worldwide.

Big sections on Latin America.

And tell me, how does that US Marine song go ?

"From the halls of Montezuma "...or something

colombia just slapped 25% tariff on u.s. goods. a country the u.s. runs a trade surplus.

They can do that

columbia will just source from china.

China is starting to have its own internal problems.

https://edition.cnn.com/2024/10/06/business/china-economy-stimulus-fiscal-spending-hnk-intl/index.html

see how that works?

Yes, Colombia is biting off more than it can chew, but we went down this ally before with them and the outcome was also not in their favor.

Trade Volume: In 2022, U.S. exports to Colombia totaled approximately $19.4 billion,

Major Exports: The U.S. exports refined petroleum, corn, and cars to Colombia.

Economic Importance: The U.S. is Colombia largest trading partner, highlighting the strong economic ties between the two nations.

americans will pay higher prices for goods from columbia and columbia will shift imports from the u.s. to china.*

art of the deal, right?

Yes

Bass...quoting "fox " to support your argument.

Has nothing to do with Fox and everything to do with stats, try harder.

Yes Jay, I am sure the nations of Latin America all agree with you...not.

And why would voters keep electing "leftist " parties ?

No mate, it intervenes when those governments start trampling democracy, silencing opposition, as it should. When "leftist" leaders turn into dictators who rig elections, suppress free speech, and wreck their economies, they stop being legitimate representatives of their people.

So why are they so sucked in, as you suggest? As I said before (is there an echo in here?) because of empty promises of "equality" and "prosperity." But history shows that these leftist regimes inevitably lead to poverty, corruption, and oppression. Just look at VENEZUELA - once the wealthiest country in South America, now a SOCIALIST HELLHOLE where people are eating zoo animals to survive. Argentina has bucked the trend of inevitable doom - thank God - and they're finally flourishing.

“Trump also ordered stricter inspections of cargo shipments arriving from Colombia, along with banking and finance sanctions and visa sanctions on “all Party Members, Family Members, and Supporters of the Colombian Government.”

“These measures are just the beginning. We will not allow the Colombian Government to violate its legal obligations with regard to the acceptance and return of the Criminals they forced into the United States!” Trump wrote on Truth Social.”

that’s how you handle things.

I can't see how the US comes out of this looking good.

Colombia makes a stand against their policies, and they go straight into Global Bully mode, throwing their weight around. And Trump certainly has enough of that to spare.

Illegal aliens are fully criminal in intent and action. As such they can and will be treated as criminals. No quarter.

This is how a President acts. Haven't seen this in 4 years.

In a social media post, Trump said he has ordered an emergency 25% tariff on all Colombian goods coming into the US, which will be raised to 50% in one week.

He has also called for a travel ban and immediate visa revocations on Colombian government officials “and all Allies and Supporters” as well as visa sanctions on party members, family members and supporters of the government of President Gustavo Petro.

the problem is not deporting illegals. it’s trump’s ego escalating it into a trade skirmish by showboating constantly when it didn’t need to happen.

again and again and again, 475 flights under biden and no problems.

trump - the ultimate drama queen.

Jay ...I think you need a brush up on your Latin American history mate.

There isn't much of that in the only book he reads.

by showboating constantly when it didn’t need to happen.

Huh?

he sends the flights quietly.

then a leader goes to the media and runs their mouth, you get excited that a leader you never heard of “defied Trump” but then they back down immediately.

Who’s the “showboat”? So far, Colombia, Brazil and Mexico.

Well done Petro..

This is DIGNITY against the inhumane policies of Trump..

No problem Colombia, You get China to help you..

Media now have to start counting Trumps lies again.

Last time in office it exceeded 20,000 lies.

Didn't Mexico also ban flights?

Media now have to start counting Trumps lies again.

Count, maybe, but they probably won't publish the numbers or they might get the Truth Social equivalent of a Mean Tweet.

he sends the flights quietly.

"Quietly"?! It was all over the news. Trump never does anything "quietly" (even corruption, and that's his main problem).

So after all this nonsense for a few hours, the illegal immigrants from Colombia are in fact back home and not in my country.

winning!

The South American country is also the U.S.’s largest supplier of fresh cut flowers.

oh noes! What will we ever do about the severe economic impact of this.

So after all this nonsense for a few hours, the illegal immigrants from Colombia are in fact back home and not in my country.

winning!

Yes, a stunning victory over that military and economic giant Colombia.

Maybe we can go bully someone else now. How about Grenada? We kicked their a** before, bet we could do it again!

Treat people with dignity....and Colombia will accept the people.

You have links to the Colombian government to know they are going to roll out the red carpet for their rejects?

The USA is back!

got a problem deporting drug trafficking gang members?

Personally I wish we could deport insurrectionists who viciously attack police officers too. Send them to mars maybe? Two birds, one stone.

the problem is not deporting illegals.

There is no problem, they’re illegals, Myorkas and Biden were the problem that made the problems

it’s trump’s ego escalating it into a trade skirmish by showboating constantly when it didn’t need to happen.

What does that have anything to do with deporting people who broke the law?

again and again and again, 475 flights under biden and no problems.

Then redirecting the flights and trying to sneakingly put them in red states

trump - the ultimate drama queen.

I am totally fine with it, as long as he deports lawbreakers, good.

He'd better get used to countries standing up to him.

Somehow I don’t think so.

What a "huuuuge" FAILURE!

Add this bungle to his failure to stop the Ukraine war in 24 hours (it's now 144 and counting), his debacle humiliation at Davos, and his Shadow VP Musk's Nazi salute, and this has to be the worst opening week of any new administration ever.

And as even as low as this is, we all know it's only going to go downhill from here...

Somehow I don’t think so.

Yeah, well the idea of having a spine is alien to the GOP, so that tracks.

Then redirecting the flights and trying to sneakingly put them in red states

Could you give us 5 examples of that happening in the real world?

And Colombia strikes back!

As was to be expected.

For now, that will subside

Coffee to be $20 a cup in the future.

And don't forget all the other "amenities" where the price will increase.

Relax, Colombia will come to their senses

Trade war in full swing already.

I hope so

In addition, what will Donald junior do when his "supplies" will become more expensive?

More liberal propaganda

I assume he will move to Columbia to sit closer to the source!

By the way, someone should tell the Donald admin that it is Colombia, not Columbia.

Tbh, a lot of people make that mistake, a lot. Been there twice, heard it too, too many times.

What a "huuuuge" FAILURE!

how so? Where are your beloved illegals at this exact moment?

LOL at the hide of the Columbian President fronting that this is some major principle - illegal immigrants from his country, some of them attached to Columbia's infamous drug cartels, being taken back in military airplanes.

I guess 'sovreignty of a country' only applies to Columbia - their ruling regime had no problem with their citizens breaking the laws of a sovereign country in the US. Trump's got people mad because he's doing exactly what you expect the President of the US to do - prioritise its citizens and residents. And all the howls of outrage from the Dems and their fellow travellers just enforce why Trump won back the White House.

the South American country's presidential aircraft had been made available

Colombia quickly saw the light.

wallace

Didn't Mexico also ban flights?

They stopped ONE flight, and caved very quickly. Just as Colombias socialist president did.... fastest cave ever.

You should read beyond partisan legacy media propaganda headlines.

BTW flying a couple hundred people out, even daily, wont even come close to the "millions of illegals " the MAGA crowd claims are in the US.

True, but it will prevent more from coming. And it will expedite the removal of illegal alien criminals, as in the DEA bust that netted 50 Tren de Aragua gang members over the weekend. Little by little, the removal of hardened violent criminals...is a good thing for those who would have been victim to them.

https://www.foxnews.com/us/dea-busts-drug-traffickers-makeshift-nightclub-takes-50-illegal-aliens-custody

Little by little...bust by bust...party by party...traffic stop by traffic stop...crime by crime...these foreign criminals will be deported.

MAGA!

JT needs to update fast!

You should read beyond partisan legacy media propaganda headlines.

Your new daily slogan but I’m confused because you continue to post on a site with legacy media. Why’s that?

Hundreds a day equals thousands a week adds up to hundreds of thousands a year.

its a good start considering the head of the agency hasn’t even had a work day yet.

It will take years to locate, detain, and deport the claimed 20 million illegals.

Sure it will. So we need to speed up.

What a "huuuuge" FAILURE!

"Colombian leader quickly caves after Trump threats, offers presidential plane for deportation flights"

Fox News? ROFL..I could give you 787 million reasons not to believe them...

What a "huuuuge" FAILURE!

how so? Where are your beloved illegals at this exact moment?

Probably working at their new jobs at MAL, Bedminster, and Westchester...

Liberal news media: you will actually continue this deportation push for the next 4 years?

Homan: yes

liberal: every single day?

Homan: yes

Probably working at their new jobs at MAL, Bedminster, and Westchester...

can’t be if they just arrived on a flight in their home country, sorry bout your incorrect logic.

soon the metrics will not only include deported numbers but those who left on their own and those future ones who never bothered to come.

So 10,000 deportee per day is 3.5 million in a year. 20 million, 6 years.

I can't see how the US comes out of this looking good.

SMH. When a parent disciplines a child, it's not about "looking good", it's about the result.

Any country who has scores of people that entered the US illegally is obviously not going to willingly expend the resources or effort to get them back. Which is why you have to take a hard line.

In life and in business it is about the result. Do optics play a role, sure, but come on, this is the country whose most famous figure is Pablo Escobar.

Fox News? ROFL..I could give you 787 million reasons not to believe them...

What's funny about this is that they regularly posted stats on how bad inflation was during the Biden administration. The Biden administration kept denying it and the voters made their choice.

You don't have to believe everything Fox News says, but if they say the sky is blue, if you can't acknowledge that much is true then there's no saving you.

The real question here is, seeing as there are only about 11 million "illegal" (=undocumented) immigrants in the US, how exactly will Donald Trump deport 20 million of them? Import 8 million foreigners to deport them immediately after they land? Or maybe start deporting Americans too? Or simply continue lying about everything?

By the way, if he intends to keep that promise, it would mean deporting about 14 000 people every day, without stopping for a single day, for the next 4 years. The cost would be in the hundreds of billions. (the party of fiscal responsibility everyone!)

obama and biden each deported more than trump1.

americans want them deported. i do.

who would want illegal migrants?

well, agriculture, meat processing and construction industries.

everything trump’s going to do and doing is going to lower gdp and increase inflation.

a failure at every business he’s ever started is going to fail the u.s.

It will take years to locate, detain, and deport the claimed 20 million illegals.

It takes no time at all to do nothing at all

So 10,000 deportee per day is 3.5 million in a year. 20 million, 6 years.

close enough!

as by next year (if not earlier) we will see self deportation be more common than forced deportation.

The cost would be in the hundreds of billions

hundreds of billions over 4 years?

I’m all for that, just reallocate the Ukraine money that isn’t needed anymore.

What's funny about this is that they regularly posted stats on how bad inflation was during the Biden administration

Yeah by the way, how's the price of eggs in Trump's America? I thought he would reduce the price of groceries on day 1 but it's been almost a week now.

Also, another question: could anyone point to me the exact bills or executive orders that Biden signed that created this horrendous, and worldwide, inflation? Everyone on the right blames Biden for it, but never mentions what policies of his were responsible. Which seems strange, doesn't it?

It’s so odd.

When downplaying it as even being a problem there are “only” 11 million.

but when claiming it simply cannot be done cause there are “so many”? 20 million.

I’m all for that, just reallocate the Ukraine money that isn’t needed anymore.

I think it would be way more sensible that Musk and Trump pay for it. They clearly can.

Liberal news media: you will actually continue this deportation push for the next 4 years?

Homan: yes

liberal: every single day?

Homan: yes

Liberal: Why should we believe you?

Homan: Because we built an impenetrable border wall seven years ago and forced Mexico to pay for it...

No, because it’s been 4.5 work days and we have deported thousands already.

When downplaying it as even being a problem there are “only” 11 million.

Using actual numbers is not really "downplaying" it. Simply explaining how inane the idea of deporting 9 million more illegal immigrants than there actually are is.

ox News? ROFL..I could give you 787 million reasons not to believe them...

What's funny about this is that they regularly posted stats on how bad inflation was during the Biden administration. The Biden administration kept denying it and the voters made their choice.

It will take years to locate, detain, and deport the claimed 20 million illegals.

It won’t be that difficult, now with every law agency now in sync and working together, never happened before, they won’t get all of course, but a huge majority, without a doubt.

All Colombia did was give Trump some free publicity at their own expense. You have to be smarter than that when dealing with Trump.

It will not be 20 million. He is acting fast to get rid of the criminals and recent crossers. Once the program runs into people without criminal records and family/community connections, it will slow down. Which is not such a bad thing. Easy prediction.

All Colombia did was give Trump some free publicity at their own expense.

Indeed - just think how much "free publicity" he got with Musk's Nazi salute...

You have to be smarter than that when dealing with Trump.

According to his "best-ever" SECDEF Mattis, all you need to do to be smarter than Trump is to have gone farther than the sixth grade...

I’m totally fine with forcibly deporting the 1 million or so that are national security or safety threats. That can be done in 6 months.

then make it where the rest can’t work, don’t get government benefits, can’t have any US bank accounts, can’t purchase assets and cant remit money “back home”.

Then they will leave on their own to Canada or somewhere not strict.

I’m totally fine with forcibly deporting the 1 million or so that are national security or safety threats.

Could you let us know where you got that figure from? It seems amazingly big. And not something written by Jim Jordan please, because he is clearly mentally challenged. Actual figures from serious agencies.

Could you let us know where you got that figure from? 

“As of July 21, ICE's national docket, which tracks immigrants facing deportation proceedings, listed roughly 660,000 noncitizens with criminal histories, including 436,000 convicted criminals and 227,000 with pending criminal charges.”

that’s half a year ago, and Biden’s numbers that are always underreported for anything illegal immigration/border.

These "Colombian drug affiliates ".....would their market be to middle America...white people, even MAGA voters ?

Does it matter?

Also, do you suppose people in LA don't do coke?

“As of July 21, ICE's national docket, which tracks immigrants facing deportation proceedings, listed roughly 660,000 noncitizens with criminal histories, including 436,000 convicted criminals and 227,000 with pending criminal charges.”

Yeah you conveniently forgot to cite a source there. But I found it for you: it's "Trump's border czar".

So about 35 seconds for a fact check:

https://www.aol.com/fact-check-trumps-border-czar-120007749.html

"By Homan's numbers, around 6% of noncitizens would be convicted criminals. By Johnson's numbers closer to 12% of the noncitizens would be criminals, or as much as 24% of the unauthorized population.

According to ICE's figures closer to 2.6% of the noncitizens in the U.S. have criminal histories."

That would be closer to about 290 000 people. Just talking about people "with criminal histories", which doesn't necessarily mean "national security or safety threats." After all, Donald Trump has a criminal history too, and I don't think you can call him a national securi...... oh wait.

Fox News? ROFL..I could give you 787 million reasons not to believe them...
