About
Colombia is a South American nation that recently held congressional elections and presidential primaries. These elections are newsworthy due to ongoing tensions with the United States. Colombians chose from over 3,000 candidates vying for Senate and House seats. In separate news, a family, including a deaf boy, was deported to Colombia by ICE after being detained in San Francisco. The boy was reportedly not given his assistive devices during the deportation process, sparking outrage. These events highlight Colombia's internal political processes and its relationship with the US, particularly regarding immigration and human rights concerns. The elections will shape Colombia's future political landscape, while the deportation case raises questions about ICE's treatment of vulnerable individuals.
