WASHINGTON — Colombia on Sunday turned away two U.S. military aircraft that were flying to the South American country with migrants being deported, a U.S. official told Reuters.
The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the aircraft had left California with about 80 migrants on each one when Colombia pulled their clearances.
Colombia’s President Gustavo Petro said earlier on Sunday in a post on social media platform X that he would not allow the United States to fly migrants to Colombia in military aircraft.

I'm sure they try, but anyone who disagrees/corrects him is of "low-intelligence".
You have to remember that he is a stable genius.

ya - I did google it, and burst out laughing.
Apparently the majority of the exports are petroleum/oil and coal.
Since Trump will be putting a 25% tariff on Canadian goods (including the oil they need for their refineries), I guess they thought they would import more of the "cheaper" products from South American countries. So much for cheaper products from Columbia!!!
I wonder who they will be tariffing next.

“These measures are just the beginning,” Trump wrote on his social media platform Truth Social. “We will not allow the Colombian Government to violate its legal obligations with regard to the acceptance and return of the Criminals they forced into the United States.”
He really has a bizarre imagination!!

"Today, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents raided a local establishment in the City of Newark, detaining undocumented residents as well as citizens, without producing a warrant," Newark Mayor Ras Baraka said in a statement.
"Newark will not stand by idly while people are being unlawfully terrorized," Baraka continued. "One of the detainees is a U.S. military veteran who suffered the indignity of having the legitimacy of his military documentation questioned."
But the above is not true, according to the US government
But according to White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt in a post on X on Thursday, all 538 individuals arrested were "illegal immigrant criminals."
TODAY: The Trump Administration arrested 538 illegal immigrant criminals including a suspected terrorist, four members of the Tren de Aragua gang, and several illegals convicted of sex crimes against minors.
Also:
Teachers on TikTok and other social media apps are reporting that they have received instruction from district officials to not permit ICE to enter classrooms in compliance with the Plyler v. Doe SCOTUS decision from 1982, which states that public schools may not deny classroom instruction to anyone based on immigration status. Teachers will not comply with ICE in identifying which students may be undocumented.

In 2015 the Supreme Court - when it was less dominated by radical conservatives - ruled that prohibitions on gay marriage were unconstitutional. When the more conservative court of today overturned abortion rights in 2022, they effectively undermined the rationale of the 2015 ruling without explicitly overruling it. Conservatives hate the 2015 ruling and have had in their crosshairs ever since. It’s survival hangs in the balance.

Yes, I think it's inevitable they'll end up overturning the 2015 decision.

"The time is always right to do what is right"
I've referenced the political scientist on numerous occasions, and gave a clue as to what the vid was about. If you choose not to watch it, or note the clue, that's on you. I regularly put things in spoilers and link to what they are about, as I got flak for posting vids, where I notice others don't.
For reference, once again, the commentator is Farron Cousins, who is a political scientist, who works with lawyers, notably on Ring of Fire, and Farron Balanced. He is eminently more interesting than Tim Farron.

All this in one day:
- President Donald Trump says he has directed his administration to impose a raft of tariffs and sanctions on Colombia
- It follows Colombia's decision to turn away US military flights carrying deported migrants
- Colombia's president has responded by threatening similar tariffs on US imports and also says he would "receive our fellow citizens on civilian planes, without treating them like criminals"
- Meanwhile, deportation raids in Chicago have begun and Trump's border czar Tom Homan says Congress needs to increase funding for the border effort, including 100,000 beds for migrant detention centres
- Trump also tells the BBC that the US gaining control of Greenland is an "absolute necessity" to guarantee international security and accuses Canada of treating the US "unfairly on trade"
- Earlier, Trump suggested that Gazans could be relocated to other Arab countries - the remark has shocked Palestinians but has been welcomed by Israel's far-right
