    Murillo added that the South American country’s presidential aircraft is available to facilitate the return of migrants who were to arrive hours earlier on the U.S. military airplanes

    Colombia didn’t refuse to take their citizens back. They objected to their inhumane treatment and being delivered on military aircraft. The American media has become a pro-Nazi propaganda machine.

      They objected to it, then immediately turned around and agreed to accept the flights without restriction.

        Uhhhhhh what? No, Colombian demands were met. The deportations are flowing again because the US agreed to put the individuals on private chartered flights, after being fed, clothed, and properly vetted for deportation. All on the US dime. So the process before Trump took office. Sounds like normal ass diplomacy to me. US said we want to deport Colombian citizens illegally. Colombia said no, go through the internationally agreed on process, and the US said okay.
