U.S. Embassy in Colombia to Close Visa Section January 27, 2025, After President Gustavo Petro Rejects Deportation Flights
Jan 26, 2025, 04:45 PM
In response to Colombian President Gustavo Petro's refusal to accept two flights carrying deported Colombians, the U.S. Embassy in Colombia will close its visa section indefinitely. This decision was confirmed by sources from the U.S. Department of State and will take effect on January 27, 2025. The embassy's closure follows Petro's earlier authorization of these deportation flights, which he later rescinded. The suspension of visa services reflects escalating tensions between the U.S. and Colombia regarding immigration and deportation policies.
