In 2026, Migración Colombia officially denied entry to 101 foreign nationals at José María Córdova Airport, bringing the total for the country to 140. Six U.S. citizens were among those denied entry after attempting to enter Medellín under the pretense of tourism with the intent of engaging in sexual exploitation. Authorities discovered $50 worth of dollar bills in their luggage, intended as tips for sex establishments. This marks an increase from 80 denials recorded in Antioquia in 2025, highlighting ongoing efforts by authorities to prevent illegal immigration linked to exploitative activities.
