One plane, flying from San Diego, California, brought home 110 Colombians and the other, which departed from El Paso, Texas, brought home 91, the Colombian Foreign Ministry said on X.

Two Colombian air force planes carrying deportees from the United States arrived in Bogota on Tuesday, the government said, paving the way for U.S. President Donald Trump's administration to lift visa restrictions and other measures on Colombian citizens.

While Colombia has avoided tariffs that would have a devastating effect on its economy, visa restrictions that were issued on Sunday by the US State Department are still in place.

The U.S. and Colombia pulled back from the brink of a trade war on Sunday after the White House said the South American nation had agreed to accept military aircraft from San Diego carrying deported migrants.
