TRUMP’S deportation planes have finally landed in Colombia after a fiery row with the South American nation’s leader.
Two military aircraft filled with around 200 deportees have been pictured landing into the Latin American country’s capital.

Colombia initially refused to accept these flights but the nation’s president – Gustavo Petro – finally caved after Trump mounted economic pressures.
The US President threatened to impose an eye-watering 25 per cent tariff on Colombian imports and immediate visa revocation for government officials in the US.
Petro refused to accept these two US military aircraft on Sunday, demanding that he would only accept migrants who were not treated “like criminals”.
And late on Sunday, just two hours after Trump’s threat, the White House confirmed Petro’s Bogota caved and agreed to accept migrants.
Petro even offered his presidential plane to “facilitate the dignified return of the compatriots who were to arrive in the country this morning from deportation flights.”
Bogota soon sent two military planes on Monday equipped with medical staff on board to fetch its nationals in the cities of San Diego and Houston.
Unbelievable images and videos have revealed what these groundbreaking deportee flights looked like.
The first military flight to land in the capital Bogotá reportedly had a whopping 110 Colombians deemed illegal by ICE onboard, according to El Meridiano.
Trump’s second deportee flight reportedly included 95 Colombian nationals onboard.
Petro posted images of the migrants disembarking without handcuffs.

He wrote: “They are Colombians, free and dignified, and in their homeland where they are loved.
“The migrant is not a criminal but a human being who wants to work and progress, live life.”
Petro accused Trump of being a “white slaveholder” who is on track to “wipe out the human species” after being humiliated by the US leader.
“You don’t like our freedom, okay. I don’t shake hands with white slavers,” Petro said after backing down.
“Overthrow me, President, and the Americas and humanity will respond… You can try to carry out a coup with your economic strength and your arrogance.”
Following Trump’s sanctions threat that forced Colombia to cave, he posted a defiant AI picture of himself.

Other footage showed how dozens of deportees were marched across a bridge through the Mexico border.

Armed border police walked many of the handcuffed people out of the US themselves.
Mexico has accepted over a whopping 4,000 migrants from the US in the first week of Trump’s presidency.
Illegal crossings at the southern border were the lowest in many years on Sunday, with sources revealing to Fox News that below 600 people illegally crossed the border from Mexico on January 26.
An illegal immigrant crackdown has seen nearly 1,000 arrested over just one day as Trump picks up the pace on deporting criminals.
The 47th president is wasting no time as he cracks down on alleged murderers, drug dealers, sex offenders and even terrorists that shouldn’t be in the United States.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) carried out raids in at least 12 cities across the US on Sunday and said it made some 956 arrests.
That’s double the 500 that were arrested on the first two days of Trump’s presidency last week.
ICE carried out the latest raids in cities including Chicago, Denver, Austin, and Los Angeles.
