Dozens of Colombian illegal migrants arrived home from the United States Tuesday, grateful for an end to a gruelling deportation ordeal at the heart of a bitter row between the two countries.
Bogota sent two air force planes to fetch some 200 of its nationals, including children, from California and Texas after initially turning back two US military planes carrying them.
Colombian President Gustavo Petro refused the first planes after taking umbrage at the treatment meted out to the expelled Brazilian migrants flown home from the United States last week, handcuffed and shackled at the ankles.

Petro posted photographs on social media Tuesday of his compatriots disembarking in Bogota without cuffs and wrote: "They are Colombians, free and dignified, and in their homeland where they are loved."
He added: "The migrant is not a criminal but a human being who wants to work and progress, live life."
