Ángela Vergara calls for ‘intervention’ by Gustavo Petro’s government to speed up repatriation flights while facing criticism for her ideological closeness to the Republican
In all the coverage of this I have not seen a single statement from her that is supportive of Trump or his immigration policy. I’m not saying she’s a good person but I’m starting to suspect people just want to force this story to fit the narrative they find gratifying instead of learning what actually happened.
It’s good to check sources. I’m only finding second-hand reports of it, though she is in the Conservative party in Colombia. One site says she founded Latinas for Trump.
This is what made me suspicious. Usually when a politician supports someone there’s no need to make vague statements like this because you can easily find a quote from her explaining her positions in her own words. The lack of such quotes seems conspicuous.
Regarding the Latinas for Trump claim, I can’t find any other sources making this claim, so I suspect this is just misinformation. I did find several statements from the real Latinas for Trump founders criticizing Trump’s immigration policy, though none had people close to them harmed directly. It seems to be a US based organization founded by local US politicians, so it would be quite surprising if this Colombian woman was involved, especially when she’s not mentioned as a founder elsewhere.

Here’s an article on one of the actual founders: https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/5708999-garcia-criticizes-trump-midterms/
Yeah, that claim seems HIGHLY dubious.
