      Uhhhhhh what? No, Colombian demands were met. The deportations are flowing again because the US agreed to put the individuals on private chartered flights, after being fed, clothed, and properly vetted for deportation. All on the US dime. So the process before Trump took office. Sounds like normal ass diplomacy to me. US said we want to deport Colombian citizens illegally. Colombia said no, go through the internationally agreed on process, and the US said okay.
