Inside the ordeal of deported migrants as US and Colombia squared off
BOGOTA — “Do you know who the next president is? The fun is over for you here, the music has changed ... you’ve got to go back.”Daniel Oquendo, 33, remembers well the first words US border agents told him after he crossed the US-Mexico border on January 20.Eight days later, Oquendo is back in his native Colombia, after a bitter diplomatic row between US President Donald Trump and Colombian President Gustavo Petro. He was one of about 200 Colombian migrants who were supposed to be deported early on Sunday – but were turned around by Colombian authorities.“It was very confusing: Nobody told us anything. US Customs and Border (Protection) took us from our cells in San Diego and put us on a C-130, with seats and all of that. They told us the flight to Bogota was going to be seven...

Judge temporarily blocks part of Trump administration’s plans to freeze federal aid
WASHINGTON — A federal judge on Tuesday afternoon temporarily blocked part of the Trump administration’s plans to freeze all federal aid, a policy that unleashed confusion and worry from charities and educators even as the White House said it was not as sweeping an order as it appeared.The short-term pause issued by US District Judge Loren L.
