  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

None of the Columbian deportees had criminal records according to the Colombian Foreign minister:

Among the more than 200 deportees were two pregnant women and more than 20 children, Colombian officials said after the flights landed.

The children all arrived accompanied by adults, according to Colombia’s child welfare agency. Their ages ranged from 1 to 17.

[Trump] officials have not said how many violent offenders have been removed from the country.

The Department of Homeland Security and its immigration and border agencies did not respond to questions about the criminal backgrounds of the deportees to Colombia.

“They illegally broke our nation’s laws and, therefore, they are criminals as far as this administration goes,” [White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt] said, calling the declaration a “big culture shift in our nation.” Deportation is a civil, not criminal, proceeding.

I'm sure the government of Columbia is a reliable source

The government of the US has identified the same number of criminals on the flights: zero
No there were 200 criminals.
Entering or remaining in the US illegally is a crime punishable by 6 months in jail, a fine or both

.....200 people who are being deported. There is no excuse for putting them in chains. None.
And yes, I do believe the Colombian government over Trump who contines to disparage them for political purposes.

You get on a plane with 200 people who came to our country illegally who are mad about being deported with no restraints on them. That’s just stupid
