Following the escalating diplomatic row with the United States, Colombian President Gustavo Petro announced Sunday that his government is sending the country’s presidential plane to Honduras to repatriate Colombian nationals who were originally scheduled to arrive via U.

Colombia accepted 475 deportation flights from the United States from 2020 to 2024, fifth behind Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico and El Salvador, according to Witness at the Border, an advocacy group that tracks flight data. It accepted 124 deportation flights in 2024.
