The White House claimed victory in a showdown with Colombia over accepting flights of deported migrants from the U.S., hours after President Donald Trump threatened steep tariffs.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said Tuesday the first flights of undocumented immigrants from the U.S. to Guantánamo Bay in Cuba were underway—following an escalation of arrests across the country as part of what President Donald Trump has promised would be the “largest deportation operation” in U.S. history.
