Colombia turns away two US military flights with deportees
Colombia turned away two US military planes carrying migrants deported as part of President Donald Trump's immigration crackdown on Sunday, according to a US official, in at least the second instance of a Latin American country blocking US military deportation flights. Colombian President Gustavo Petro denounced the practice, claiming it treated migrants as criminals. In a post on X, he said his country would welcome deported migrants back on civilian flights, asserting that they should be treated with decency. The decision mirrors that of Mexico, which declined a request last week to allow a US military aircraft to land with migrants. "The U.S. cannot treat Colombian migrants as criminals," Petro wrote, noting that there were 15,660 Americans with improper immigration status in Colombia. Petro's words add to the increased concern in Latin America as Trump's government prepares for mass deportations. Late on Saturday, Brazil's foreign ministry decried the "degrading treatment" of Brazilian migrants after they were shackled aboard a commercial deportation aircraft amid reports of abuse onboard. According to Brazil's federal police, the commercial charter aircraft carrying 88 Brazilians was the second from the US this year and the first since Trump took office. This is the first time recently that US military planes have been used to carry migrants out of the nation, according to a US official. On Friday, US military planes flew to Guatemala twice, each flight carrying around 80 migrants. The move underscores the Trump administration's firm stance on immigration. According to previous reports by Reuters, Trump is expected to mobilize government agencies nationwide to achieve record deportation numbers, building on his first-term efforts to leverage all available resources and pressure so-called "sanctuary" jurisdictions into compliance.

Trump statements are fascist, aggressive: Palestinian Factions
Palestinian factions on Sunday strongly condemned statements made by US President Donald Trump concerning the deportation of Gaza's residents from their homeland. The Islamic Jihad Movement in Palestine issued a statement strongly condemning Trump's remarks, describing them as "aggressive and fascist," and aligning with the most extreme agenda of the Israeli far-right. The movement characterized the remarks as "an extension of a longstanding policy aimed at erasing the existence, undermining the will, and denying the rights of the Palestinian people," emphasizing that such remarks "encourage the perpetuation of war crimes and crimes against humanity by forcing our people to abandon their land." The Islamic Jihad statement urged nations, particularly the Egyptian and Jordanian governments, to "reject Trump's plan," affirming that "our people, through their resilience and resistance, will thwart this plan just as they have overcome many others before." In a statement, the Palestinian Resistance Committees strongly condemned Trump's statements, which mentioned 'transferring parts of the population of Gaza to Egypt and Jordan,' stressing that they are 'aggressive, fascist statements that are in line with the plans of Israeli criminals in the extremists' government and the implementation of their Talmudic myths and legends.' The statement urged the brotherly governments of Egypt and Jordan to reject Trump's "malicious" remarks and to "stand firmly against the displacement and uprooting plans targeting our people and our cause." The Resistance Committees' statement concluded, "Our message to the criminal enemies of the nation in the American and Israeli administrations is clear: The Zionist-American failure to displace our people, despite thousands of tons of bombs and missiles, will never succeed in imposing any criminal decisions upon them." The Palestinian Mujahideen Movement declared in a statement that "Trump's remarks endorse the plans of religious Zionism and its criminal leaders in the enemy government." The statement indicated that these statements reflect "the insistence of the new US administration (the Trump administration) to continue the aggression against our people and the displacement plans that include all Palestinian lands and the liquidation of the Palestinian cause." The statement continued, "What the previous US administration (the Biden administration) failed to achieve—supporting genocide and ethnic cleansing against our Palestinian people in Gaza—the new administration will not succeed in either. Our people remain steadfast in their land, and their plans will fail." The statement also called on the Arab and Islamic world to reject Trump's statements. Earlier today, Trump suggested a controversial plan to "just clean out" Gaza through the mass expulsion of its population to neighboring Egypt and Jordan, framing the proposal as a step toward "Middle East peace." Labeling Gaza a "demolition site" in the aftermath of the Israeli genocide, Trump revealed he had discussed the idea with Jordan's King Abdullah II and planned further talks with Egypt's leadership. "I'd like Egypt to take people. And I'd like Jordan to take people," Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One. He estimated that "probably a million and a half people" could be moved, adding, "We just clean out that whole thing. You know, over the centuries it's had many, many conflicts, that site. And I don't know, something has to happen." Trump suggested "the relocations" could be temporary or potentially permanent. "It's literally a demolition site right now, almost everything is demolished and people are dying there," he remarked. Proposing collaboration with Arab nations, Trump said, "I'd rather get involved with some of the Arab nations and build housing at a different location where they can maybe live in peace for a change." Earlier today, a Palestinian was killed and others were injured by Israeli occupation forces' gunfire on Salah al-Din Street in central Gaza, Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported. Witnesses reported that the Israeli occupation military opened fire on Palestinian evacuees at the last accessible point on Salah al-Din Street (eastern Gaza) and al-Rashid Street (western Gaza), which connect the southern and northern parts of the strip. The ceasefire agreement in Gaza between the Palestinian Resistance and the Israeli occupation came into effect on Sunday, January 19, 2025. However, the occupation breached the agreement shortly thereafter, resulting in fatalities and injuries. The Israeli occupation forces' failure to withdraw from the so-called Netzarim axis, southwest of Gaza City, so far "threatens to halt the implementation of other provisions of the agreement," a commander in the Palestinian Resistance warned in a statement to Al Mayadeen.

Swiss police arrest director of Electronic Intifada news outlet
Swiss authorities have detained Ali Abunimah, a Palestinian-American journalist and co-founder of the pro-Palestine news outlet The Electronic Intifada (EI). Abunimah was reportedly questioned by Swiss police for an hour upon his arrival at Zurich airport on Friday before being granted entry into the city. Reports suggest he was arrested the following day, ahead of a scheduled speaking event. "Abunimah's arrest appears to be part of a growing backlash from Western governments against expressions of solidarity with the Palestinian people," the Electronic Intifada said. The Chicago-based independent publication voiced its solidarity with Abunimah, stating, "Speaking out against injustice in Palestine is not a crime. Journalism is not a crime." In posts on his X account, the journalist condemned the Israeli genocidal assault on the Gaza Strip and expressed support for the Palestinian resistance against the occupation. The shamelessness of people who demanded we vote for the monsters @joebiden and then @kamalaharris who aided and abetted the 'Israeli' genocide from the start and who would have ensured it went on until the last Palestinian was dead. latest article, published on The Electronic Intifada on January 18, was titled "How Gaza's Resistance Defeated Israel." The American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee (ADC) emphasized that Abunimah has been a consistent advocate against "Israel's" injustices in Palestine, highlighting that his arrest appears to be a direct result of his outspoken activism. "Abunimah's arrest is a stark reminder of the increasing attempts to stifle voices calling for justice and accountability," it pointed out. is outraged by news reports of the arrest of @AliAbunimah—founder and Executive Director of the Electronic @intifada and a prominent Palestinian rights advocate—by Swiss authorities. Mr. Abunimah, a United States citizen, has long been a committed…Belgian-Lebanese activist Dyab Abou Jahjah, founder of the Hind Rajab Foundation, described Abunimah as a "political prisoner" and demanded his immediate year, British police raided the home of Asa Winstanley, an associate editor with EI, and seized his computers and phones.
