The United States has begun revoking visas for officials in the Colombian government led by President Gustavo Petro, escalating diplomatic tensions between the two countries. Among those affected is Carlos Feria, the former head of security for President Petro, who was expelled from the U.S. and has since returned to Colombia. The U.S. State Department reportedly made the decision to revoke Feria's visa. The situation has prompted further diplomatic actions, including the U.S. Secretary of State calling embassy officials in Bogotá for consultations. Meanwhile, Colombia is experiencing internal political shifts, including the resignation of Laura Sarabia from the Foreign Ministry and the issuance of an arrest order for Carlos Ramón González, the former director of DAPRE, who is currently outside the country. President Petro is also reviewing the country's passport issuance process amid these developments. Additionally, Daniel García-Peña is expected to return to Colombia following a decision aligned with Washington's stance. The names of other Colombian government officials whose visas have been revoked have not been disclosed.
