Trump had threated to impose 25% tariffs on all imports from Colombia, which would rise to 50% in a week, unless it agreed to accept deported migrants.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt announced Friday that deportations of illegal migrants have begun via aircraft. "President Trump is sending a strong and clear message to the entire world: if you illegally enter the United States of America, you will face severe consequences," Leavitt wrote on the social media platform, X.
