TRUMP'S deportation planes have finally landed in Colombia after a fiery row with the South American nation's leader. Two military aircraft filled with around 200 deportees have been pictured landing into the Latin American country's capital. Colombia initially refused to accept these flights but the nation's president - Gustavo Petro - finally caved after Trump mounted economic pressures.

The US President threatened to impose an eye-watering 25 per cent tariff on Colombian imports and immediate visa revocation for government officials in the US. Petro refused to accept these two US military aircraft on Sunday, demanding that he would only accept migrants who were not treated "like criminals".

And late on Sunday, just two hours after Trump's threat, the White House confirmed Petro's Bogota caved and agreed to accept migrants. Petro even offered his presidential plane to "facilitate the dignified return of the compatriots who were to arrive in the country this morning from deportation flights.".

Bogota soon sent two military planes on Monday equipped with medical staff on board to fetch its nationals in the cities of San Diego and Houston. Unbelievable images and videos have revealed what these groundbreaking deportee flights looked like. The first military flight to land in the capital Bogotá reportedly had a whopping 110 Colombians deemed illegal by ICE onboard, according to El Meridiano.
