Colombia denies entry to six U.S. tourists suspected of sexual exploitation

Six U.S. citizens arriving from Miami were refused admission at José María Córdova International Airport in Rionegro, Antioquia, after Migración Colombia officials found evidence suggesting the trip was intended for sexual‑exploitation tourism. Inspectors noted items such as packs of one‑dollar bills that could be used to pay for sexual services. The denial brings the total number of foreigners turned away in Antioquia for this reason to 101 for the year, with the national tally nearing 140.

During the same operation, authorities also identified a Mexican national wanted by a U.S. court on charges of bank fraud, electronic fraud and money‑laundering. After confirming his identity, he was handed over to Colombia's DIJIN to begin extradition proceedings.
