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.
