Colombia’s new president faces backlash over ‘inhumane’ deportation policy

Colombian President Abelardo de la Espriella announced a deportation campaign targeting foreign nationals living irregularly in Colombia, primarily affecting Venezuelans. This decision, made during a security council meeting, marks a stark departure from previous administrations that sought to create legal immigration pathways. De la Espriella stated he would not accept any illegal immigrants and that deportation operations would begin as soon as this week.
