Gustavo Petro said on X that the United States should not treat Colombian migrants as criminals and that he had already turned away U.S. military flights carrying deportees.

Colombia will reject deportation flights from the United States after Brazil decried the treatment of migrants arriving handcuffed and shackled, complicating President Donald Trump’s plans and providing a contrast with the cooperative acceptance of Mexico and Guatemala.

Colombia has denied entry to two U.S. military deportation flights, according to officials from the Department of Homeland Security and the Defense Department. The flights, carried out on U.S. military C-17 aircraft, were carrying about 80 Colombian migrants each and had departed from California, the defense official told NBC News.

Mexico, Colombia and Brazil are all pushing back on Trump's deportation of migrants in handcuffs or on military planes.
