Undocumented?? They are criminals here illegally CNN quit your political correct garbage. Your viewers want to hear the truth, not some washed down soft version of the animals that are being deported. Wonder why your going under, that is one of the reasons. \n\nThank You President Trump for getting these illegals out of our once safe country. CNN, you don't get any thanks hurry up and go bankrupt please.

Donald trump wants to send criminals to Mexico and Colombia but, not all these undocumented criminals are from Mexico or Colombia, we also don't want undocumented people

36 trillion in debt!\n330 million people in the U.S WE DON'T NEED ANY MORE IMMIGRANTS!\nVENEZUELANS TURNED OUT TO BE THE MOST HORRIBLE CRIMINALS THAT TRUMP WARNED US ABOUT

Sooo funny, the president of Colombia already told Trump he'll use his own Jets and fly his criminals back home, because when Trump speaks the rest of the world listens...

I'm more than willing to not eat colombian produce. Take your criminals back. Well done trump

Trump is anti-crime, but the left and CNN are so anti-Trump that they are fully pro-criminal. This is why the democrats lost in 2024 big time, and will lose again in 2026 and forward if they don’t gain common sense.

God bless Trump, send them all back. Specially the criminals.

Ignorance and hate in these comments is depressing. Many of these people are escaping horrible, dangerous places. \nI see taxpayers, cleaning our rooms, harvesting our food, not criminals. \nThe Border Bill sunk by Trump last year would have dispositioned asylum seekers before they could enter. Any criminals would have been seen. \nWe will soon see food prices go up and taxes paid going down. \nUndocumented immigrants pay100 billion in federal and local taxes each year, and most will not be getting Social Security on these wages.

Being a Colombian don`t make one a criminal idiot. if the world will work without US this fool trump will learn.

The Colombian president asks for respect. Being illegal is a minor crime, the Colombian is not a criminal. That is what Colombia asked for. He also offered to send the presidential plane to help, but transporting a Colombian with handcuffs in international territory is kidnapping since that minor crime does not exist in Colombia. And if Trump threatens to raise tariffs, Colombia does too... and China wants to help us... gringos, the Titanic is sinking...

CNN why is is wrong to send back the criminals who? And is President Trump send back all illegals

Trump should deported his wife to convince people of USA, I want to know is trump administration deporting only criminal immigrant ? as he claims in his speech ?

CNN doing more sane washing of trumps disputable actions!!!\nCNN why are you not correctly reporting WHY Columbia refused the MILITARY planes!!!\nThis photo opp stunt cost Americans almost $900,000.00!! Also this stunt could be ILLEGAL!!! Oh I forgot laws don’t matter when it comes to the MIST CORRUPT PRESIDENT in US history!!!\nTrump could care less about the cost to you ignorant Americans!!!!\nBut hey keep cheering for this vile conman!!\nAmerica is turned into a cesspool over night with this fasist vile criminal as your president!!!\nWow how dumb are Americans?? Apparently EXTREMELY dumb! You voted for THAT thing not once but twice!!!!\nBrain dead Americans!!!!\nGood job you fricken idiots!!! You got exactly what you voted for! He told you all what he was going to do but I guess you thought being apart if trumps cult would protect you!!! ???? it’s not! Trump could care less about you! He chewed you up and is now spitting you out with a huge smile on his face!!! Good job American imbeciles!!!!

“Within 24 hours of being sworn in, President Donald Trump initiated a crackdown on undocumented migrants”…\n\nUh, no, those were CRIMINAL ILLEGAL ALIENS!

Good for President Trump. If Mexico has refused his own people & raises prices on Colombian coffee, I’ll buy another brand. Take responsibility for YOUR citizen’s & take Your Criminals back. The inflation in America is here bc of Biden & I will simply wait for prices after drilling to bring prices down. Trump can only be a good leader if he says something & follows thru. Stop complaining CNN & trying to create fear. The rhetoric doesn’t work any more. I can’t wait for CNN to fold

I keep hearing the word Venezuela from the crowd These are not a bunch of poor Mexicans trying for a better life. Many are violent criminals released from Venezuelan prisons. Thank God for President Trump and Tom Homan.

UPDATE: Less than an hour after Trump made these threats the Colombia sent the president’s plane to collect their deported criminal migrants on our behalf and all tariffs have been dropped. CNN viewers are morons.

I think Indian govt's stance is best in this case.\n'Give us a list of our people you want to deport, give us proofs why you think they are illegals, and we will arrange for the planes ourselves, no questions asked. You won't even have to bother about transporting them, just bring them to the air port, we will fly them back.'.\n\n\nAnyways Indian govt had been warning Canada about this migration for past 8 years. Literally imploring them to not take these guys in. They aren't running away from persecution, they are running away from prosecution. But sadly Canada became a safe haven for criminals in India to run and hide into. Now don't blame India or Indians for it. We warned you, we had a spat with you. You lectured us how free and democratic you are and how your doors are open to all. NOW SUFFER.\n\nFor the Americans.....i don't feel a thing. They are mostly racists bunch (liberals more than conservatives, but yeah 99 percent of them are pure vile racists). I enjoy watching their country undergoing a very slow implosion right Infront of our very eyes. Trump is a good and capable leader. But what can he really do? His main voter base (which actually did not matter in the elections, it was the minority votes which tilted the scales) is simply uneducated, uninformed, racists. I don't know if they are inherently racist or that racism is born out of ignorance to begin with. But it is what it is. And the othtrr side is loony. ?. You have hate filled racists on one side and crazies on another. That country is destined to be doomed. I hardly find any centrist sane individual who can actually get over the superficial racial or identity stuff and actually talk policies in depth. Both sides are like... For us or against us. What can Trump even do with such population base. They have to import people to keep their quality on top... Else they are done for within next 200 - 250 years.

CNN stop being bias—— why aren’t they reporting that this was already resolved with 39 mins of the tariffs being announced? The president of Colombia even offered his plane to transport these illegals and why is CNN calling them undocumented when they are illegal “criminals” ? They are trying to sell you the idea that what trump is doing here is bad

Colombia has taken so many evil people and poor destitute people from Venezuela as refugees and it can’t absorb them but Colombians normally come legally to the USA and make great Americans my family in law for example are good conservative people who support Trump and I’d like to have my family in the USA all in one place especially is colombia will turn into Venezuela under a corrupt regime who has ruined everything and hurt most of the citizens idk how he won if he did even win but the USA came into Colombia before to stabilize it and it worked for a long time and there are 30,000 U.S. expats here or people with family ties or like me who happened to marry into a Colombian family. Not long ago I saw Trump with former President Duque and their wives and there was a beautiful relationship and colombia was booming in one year the USA must put back the former establishment and restabilize the mess that has been made under this communist guerrilla member and I hope saying this doesn’t bring lash back to me or my family here in Colombia. But my husband and me want to come home to the USA as soon as possible he isn’t a criminal his father is a Pastor at a small countryside church they don’t deserve this.

The US can't treat Colombian migrants as criminals, what is that guy smoking and what is this reporter smoking for not correcting that absolute moron? It wasn't Planes full of migrants it was playing full of illegals you know people that come to America illegally as in snuck through our borders they are not here in a legal capacity whatsoever. And you do realize the Trump ordered the removal of all the dangerous criminals first right? All these people being taken back in these first few weeks weeks are all criminals with records murderers rapists drug runners gang members etc..

Colombia didnt back down at all, thats the one sided narrative from Trump. Petro said they will not accept people chained up like criminals but would accept and even supply aircraft to bring them back respectfully. So if Trumpet now sends them back respectfully he will have backed down.\nImage the rest of the world hit the US with tariffs and watch a failing country fail further. Trump wont feel a thing but the normal people in the US will suffer.

So if they are self deporting it's working & when 10 to 20K a day entering illegally easy to deport 5k a week, Trump is removing criminals that belong to Columbia, we can get those resources from elsewhere, the tartrifs don't force countries to do our bidding it keeps them honest, support your President!

Trump thinks he can just load up planes and drop criminals off in another country.

Go Columbia, Mexico.\nThe world needs to tariff Trump and as a felon refused entry rights.\nWhy should the world accept US criminals just because they are president.

Trump should contract to Salvador's Bukele to house ilegal criminals.

Trump is a criminal. Melania is illegal. So is Musk. So is the owner of fox News. Who is he? Do you know?

Deport criminals like trump!

Is there a difference between trumps illegal criminals vs legal criminals? And which one is he?

Trump is a rounding up immigrant criminals, and setting American criminals free, so it’s ok to be a criminal as long as you’re a trump loving American.

Trump you yourself are a criminal and you yourself are unpopular among the American people!

I understand that USA wants to deport all criminals. When will Trump be deported?

I suggest all countries send release their prisoners and send them to the USA with forged documents that state they aren’t criminals and let trump deal with that. Big bad man on the border sounds like a challenge to be accepted. Overwhelm the trump fascist government with so much they can’t maintain it

No countries want to deal with a criminal FELON like TRUMP.\nGo deal with Putin, and Netanyahu.

I did not know we could just repatriate criminals. Where can we send Trump?

Thankyou President Trump! He told them how it is and now they are accepting their criminals back. Biden would have just kissed their butt and asked jill for another dipey change!

And trump won in just a few hours. Columbia is now sending their plane to pick up the criminals…

There are 15.000 Americans living in Colombia without visas. They should be deported too. It should be reciprocal. They should be treated as criminals too and send they back to USA with handcuffs like Trump is treating Colombians!

trump, a criminal released violent criminals from prison but thats ok because they are american.

Since trump doesnt want someone letting criminals into our streets , then maybe he shouldn't do it . And if he really wants criminals out of the country, why is he still here?

If Trump was serious about illegal immigrants he would help them initiate paperwork to be legal INSTEAD of triggering a war! \nIf Trum was serious about America he wouldn't release violent Jan 6 criminals!

My mother and her neighbor's house (in the Bronx) were both broken into last Month, the neighbor, An ex Marine, got his motorcycle stolen. Unbeknownst to the thieves, he had an apple air tag on his bike, the cops found his motorcycle, which he worked hard for, and other motorcycles in storage unit in the South Bronx, which was being used by a gang of illegal Venezuelans and Dominicans. Most people don't care about the illegal immigration crisis because it mostly affects black and brown communities sadly. Thank you Trump for sending these criminals back!!!

When a country turn away it’s own citizens they must be hardcore criminals and thanks mr trump for that !!!

Coffee cut flowers and petroleum products 7 billion dollars worth product a year to USA will go up. The issue is diplomatic relations because no non third world countries will allow military aircraft on their land if it’s not military or criminal activities. Deportations is not a crime in Columbia. So what Trump should have done was verify that before sending military aircraft The have agreed to take the people in a commercial plane. Trump is over reacting to it

Trump. How many kids did you count as Columbian criminals in your stats?

Trump needs to learn the world is not at his knees. He is an obnoxious bully who thinks he and he alone can save the world. In less than one week he has insulted, threatened and lied so many times I lost count. Releasing convicted criminals who amongst other things, assaulted police officers. All this from a convicted felon! Well Donnie, go ahead and impose your tariffs on the world. America, because of you has become a pariah amongst the rest of the world.

The nerve of Colombia to not want their own criminal citizen's returned. Great job Trump.

Trump is very unpopular among the people in the United States, he doesn't have a lot of room to talk. He should be flown out of the country because he is a criminal.

Get coffee from Italy. So why wouldn’t he take his citizens back? Because they’re such heavy criminals, as trump said first term, they’re not sending their best

LOL Colombian president has already apologized and will be accepting their criminal citizens back. This was within 2 hour of trump threatening them with economic and diplomatic sanctions! Did you all not see the letter the Colombian president just issued? And guess what? Columbian president is offering to send his own plane to pick up their criminal citizens! Y’all can still scream at the sky though?
