A growing number of Colombian travelers are raising concerns about their treatment at Mexican airports, with many alleging they were denied entry under questionable circumstances and subjected to poor conditions while awaiting deportation. Social media, particularly TikTok, has amplified these complaints, with videos detailing distressing encounters with immigration authorities.
According to data obtained by Infobae from the Colombian Consulate in Cancún, 17,875 Colombians were deemed inadmissible at Cancún International Airport in 2024, a significant figure given that approximately 230,000 Colombian tourists entered Mexico that year.
