    U.S. Embassy in Colombia to Close Visa Section Monday Over Petro's Refusal of 160 Migrant Deportations

    The U.S. Embassy in Colombia will close its visa section starting Monday, January 27, 2025, in response to Colombian President Gustavo Petro's refusal to accept two deportation flights carrying 160 Colombian migrants. The decision to close the visa section was confirmed by sources from the U.S. Department of State, led by Marco Rubio. President Petro had previously authorized these flights, but later rejected them, citing the need for a dignified treatment protocol for migrants. The flights were turned back after Petro's decision. This move by the U.S. is seen as a retaliatory measure, with additional reprisals expected to be implemented soon.
