Colombian president orders immigration raids, vows deportations of migrants without legal status (opens the original)
Read excerpt
BOGOTA, Colombia (AP) — Colombian President Abelardo de la Espriella has promised to deport thousands of migrants who are in the country without residence permits, mainly Venezuelans, as he attempts to make significant changes to the nation's immigration policies that he says will reduce crime.

BOGOTA, Colombia (AP) — Drug gangs and rebel groups in Colombia are increasingly recruiting children and using them to perform potentially lethal tasks that include piloting explosives-laden drones, Human Rights Watch said in a report published Monday. The international watchdog said criminal organizations in the South American country often use social media to recruit children as they try to assert control over rural areas where they profit from the drug trade, extortion and illegal mining.

Colombia's court on the conflict with FARC rebels in limbo as president-elect vows to dismantle it (opens the original)
Read excerpt
BOGOTA, Colombia (AP) — A decade after the Colombian government signed a historic peace accord with a now-defunct rebel group, the tribunal handling crimes related to the conflict faces an uncertain future after the country's president-elect vowed to dismantle it. Known as the Special Jurisdiction for Peace, or SJP, the court — much like the peace deal with the rebels of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, or FARC — has long divided the country. Colombia's President-elect Abelardo de la
