Colombia Backs Down on Deportation Flights

They were expecting Biden, and got Trump. From The Daily Signal we get the following. Colombia Accepts Criminal Aliens After Tariff Threat: White House

Colombia had denied landing rights to two flights containing deported aliens. Their socialist president was very pleased with himself.

The measures include: “emergency 25% tariffs on all goods coming into the United States,” which will increase to 50% in one week; a travel ban and visa revocations on Colombian government officials; enhanced Customs and Border Protection inspections of all Colombian nationals and cargo on national security grounds; and sanctions under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act.

And Trump added in his announcement of the sanctions, that “These measures are just the beginning.”

Colombia's president didn't have the stomach for that fight after all.
