A request of all media outlets --- Stop feeding #Trump propaganda with headlines like "#Trump coerced #Colombia to accept deportees" (I'm looking at you, Al Jazeera English)
Colombia has regularly taken deportees, including during #Biden years
Issue was not #Colombia taking deportees but aiding #Trump PR students by taking deportees from a US military plane
Colombia backed #Trump down by insisting 2 flights not enter country and sending Presidential plane for "decent" reception

Despite White House announcement, we still do not know if Colombia will allow US military flights w deportees onto its soil
So stop serving as #Trump's lackey by giving him an anti-migrant/asylum seeker (and int'l bully) victory lap
Thank you.

Any shackles found should go on the flight crew and ICE agents for a walk of shame.
