Colombia rejects two US military flights with deported migrants
US president had called for ‘retaliatory measures’ after Colombia’s president, Gustavo Petro, blocked two military aircraft carrying deportees
On one hand, good that people are pushing back.
On the other hand, this is all part of the plan for concentration camps and forced labor.
They'll just bring back all the fieldworkers as slaves.
Isn’t one of the states trying to make being an illegal immigrant a lifetime sentence with no chance at parole.
Slavery is coming back to America, well it never left, but it’s coming back out of the shadows.
Some lawmaker in Mississippi introduced a bill that said such, which is nearly meaningless. Any jackass can introduce any damned bill.
Wish we could ban, or at least stop talking about these things. It will have meaning if it actually makes it through committee, makes the floor for a vote.
The Democrats do the same (but not nearly so evil). They introduce bullshit bills as a way to get people talking. Again, meaningless if they can't get traction beyond mere talk.
OP, the title youve given is misleading and different from the article. He does not say he will refuse these flights, only that he will refuse flights where peolple are treated inhumanely.
I cannot force migrants to remain in a country that does not want them. But if that country returns them, it must be with dignity and respect – for both them and our nation. In civilian planes, and without treating them like criminals, we will welcome our compatriots.
The Guardian changed the headline after publishing the story. I used the one that was on the story when I posted it, I think.
I do think the new one is more accurate, so I'll update it.
I'm sure Trump's flights will have reclining seats and in-flight service. /s
I think you're splitting a hair that doesn't exist.
Edit: I'm saying I don't think any of the flights will be humane.
“That is why I ordered the return of US military planes carrying Colombian migrants,” Petro wrote, sharing a video of Brazilian deportees who had been flown out of the US on Friday, shackled at the wrists and ankles.
He seems to imply the Colombian migrants were treated similarly, worth taking issue over IMO.
Wish more leaders had the backbone to stand up to Trump's rhetoric.
I suspect the plan is to just push em out of the plane next time with a parachute.
