The United States has deportation orders signed for 27,000 Colombians in an irregular situation

Sources from the Government of Colombia and the United States confirmed to news Caracol that there are deportation orders signed by 27,000 Colombians. Which means that the Trump government will soon send these nationals back to the country.

This wave of deportations is part of the policy of the Trump government, which has extreme its measures to deport migrants in irregular conditions. This fact even caused a diplomatic tension between Colombia and the United States Last Sunday.

This Friday, the United States Embassy In Bogotá restored its consular services after a four -day suspension derived from the clash between the president Donald Trump and his Colombian counterpart, Gustavo Petro. Thus, dozens of people with papers in hand were rowing early on the outskirts of the consulate. Some entered their appointment, after a call for speaker.

During this week there are at least four flights that have arrived with deportees of United States to Colombia.

It also transpired that, for this migratory wave, the government of President Gustavo Petro will ask Panama for the reprogramming of a new deportees flight that is scheduled for this Monday, February 3.

This is due to the fact that the Colombian government seeks to prepare to properly receive those expelled and have a Social offer For this population. In fact, President Petro himself asked Colombians in an irregular situation on American soil to return to the country and leave their jobs, to Build in Colombia a social wealth.

“The Department of Social Prosperity, DPS, will seek to deliver Productive credits To those who returned are registered in their programs, “Petro added.

This initiative occurs in the midst of a convulsive week on behalf of the prohibition of two deported flights last Sunday, January 26, a situation that unleashed a diplomatic crisis between Colombia and the United States, whose echoes still resonate.

The own Marco Rubio, Secretary of State of the United States, said that “he does not believe that we have mathened Colombia” And he noted that “it is normal for us to be deporting people to Colombia as well as deported people to all countries in the world.”

While from the Trump campaign, what could happen to irregular migrants had been manifested, the magnitude of 27,000 Colombians Those who could be deported is a new fact on the agenda between these two nations.

Panama, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala and the Dominican Republic They will receive from this Saturday the head of American diplomacy, Marco Rubio, overwhelmed by a Donald Trump empowered who has declared war on migration and resurrected “the ghosts of imperialism.”

They already knew the style of republican For its first term, from 2017 to 2021, but, in the light of the dozen presidential decrees signed in a little more than a week, the era 2.0 promises to be cataclysmic, with reforms everywhere.

On his first trip as Secretary of State, Rubio will arrive at Latin America With two priorities: migration and security.

The trip was announced before tensions between United States and Colombia for sending migrants in an irregular situation in military aircraft and some of them with shackles.

After this crisis Rubio “It comes in a stage where everyone is very scared because Washington showed The Andes.

His first stop will be Panama and the atmosphere is tense. The Republican tycoon wants to “recover” the control of the Panama Canal because he believes that he is under Chinese influence, for which he does not rule out the use of The military force.

In its social truth platform he accused the country this week of trying to withdraw at high speed “the signs that are written in Chinese” because “China controls the Panama channel. Panama will not go out with his!” He wrote.

Republican senator Ted Cruz said in a session in Congress that “Chinese companies are building a bridge” through the intraoceanic route that will allow them to “block the channel without prior notice” and also control “the ports at each end “.

Laland Lazarus, an expert from the International University of Florida sees in the Trump comments “old ghosts, the ghosts of American imperialism.”

On Thursday the Panamanian President José Raúl Mulino He ruled out negotiating with the United States on this issue.

“I cannot negotiate, much less open a negotiation process on the channel, that is sealed, the channel is from Panama,” he said at a press conference.

Trump, who considers any migrant “criminal” who has illegally entered into USA, He has promised a record number of expulsions.

So it is very likely that Rubio asks for cooperation to the five countries that he visits to receive more flights and migrants from states that possibly reject their nationals such as Cuba, Nicaragua and Venezuela.

It is also expected that Marco Rubio, Son of Cuban immigrants, take the opportunity to defend conservative governments.

It will be the case of El Salvador, whose president Nayib Bukele She is considered modelic for her ruthless war against gangs and crime, despite the criticisms of human rights organizations.

The president’s son, Donald Trump Jr., He attended Bukele’s second possession last year.

In Dominican Republic, President Luis Abinader has launched a policy not very far from Trump’s, with his promise to expel Haitians in an irregular situation and the construction of a wall on the border with the poorest country in the country continent.

In Guatemala, President Bernardo Arévalo, elected in part by his promise to combat corruption, hastened to cooperate with Trump accepting migrants expelled.

“Arévalo seeks the support of the Trump administration because he knows that his own government has been threatened by internal forces that have often maintained close relations with members of the members of the Republican party “, Mauleen Meyer explains, from the Washington office for Latin American affairs (WOLA).
