A Boeing 737-700 with 205 passengers landed at 7 a.m. local time. The migrants, who are Colombian citizens, underwent the immigration process at El Dorado Airport.
Colombian President Gustavo Petro stated that the migrants were transported with respect, without handcuffs, and promised to create a convenient and accessible credit plan for them. This event resulted from tense relations between the U.S. and Colombia due to an attempted deportation with handcuffs, which led to a diplomatic crisis and the threat of sanctions.
U.S. President Donald Trump promised to tighten control over illegal migrants and the extradition of millions of migrants, as well as declared a state of emergency at the southern border.
