Colombia President De La Espriella Plans Deportations
The Colombian president, Álvaro de la Espriella, has pledged to deport thousands of undocumented migrants, most of whom are from Venezuela, who are residing in the country without official permits. He announced that he will instruct the immigration authorities, in cooperation with the police, to carry out raid operations starting this week, focusing on migrants who commit crimes or live unlawfully in the country. These measures come at a time when Venezuelans are suffering from a severe economic crisis and the burden of millions of refugees, with the number in Colombia exceeding 2.8 million according to the United Nations, around 2.3 million of whom hold temporary permits. The deportation policy marks a significant shift from Colombia's historical stance on protecting the rights of refugees and Venezuelans residing there.
