Colombian President Orders Crackdown on Undocumented Migrants Prioritizing Deportations
Colombian President Abelardo de la Espriella has ordered a crackdown on undocumented migrants, prioritizing deportations of those involved in crimes and those without regular status. This policy, announced during a security meeting in Barranquilla, aims to enforce stricter immigration controls amid Colombia's large Venezuelan migrant population, estimated at 2.8 million with over half a million undocumented. De la Espriella emphasized a 'Colombia First' approach, aligning with similar policies in the region, though immigration was not a central campaign issue.
