Colombia's new president Abelardo de la Espriella announced a crackdown on thousands of migrants who are in the country without residence permits.
The far-right president said he would make significant changes to the country's immigration policy that he said would reduce crime and confront criminal groups.
“I will not accept any illegal immigrants, no matter where they come from,” de la Espriella said in a video released on X on Sunday night while chairing a security meeting in Barranquilla.
