YouTube Description
as posted by the channelColombian political activist Beto Coral was detained by HSI agents in Phoenix last Tuesday after publicly speaking out against Trump-backed presidential candidate Abelardo de la Espriella.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio signed the memo declaring Coral “deportable,” noting that despite his pending asylum application, allowing Coral to stay “undermines US foreign policy interests in Colombia’s democratic processes.”
Trump has expressed strong support for the far-right de la Espriella in Sunday’s runoff election, and many Colombians have accused the administration of interference.
Colombian President Gustavo Petro has demanded Coral’s release, calling him a “political prisoner.”
On Saturday, BT spoke to Coral’s former partner Tatiana Camacho, who has been in contact with him since his arrest. Camacho says deportation back to Colombia would bring “imminent risk” to Coral’s life.
