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 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.

Colombia on Sunday turned away two US military aircraft with migrants being deported as part of President Donald Trump's immigration crackdown, a US official said, in at least the second case of a Latin American nation refusing US military deportation flights.

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.

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

Many remain determined to reach the U.S. through more dangerous means, riding freight trains, hiring smugglers and dodging authorities.

Brazil’s foreign ministry said late on Saturday that it would demand explanations from the US government over the ”degrading treatment” of Brazilians on a deportation flight, while Mexico on Friday also refused such a flight to land in the country.
