Activist forced out of US after criticising Trump-aligned Colombian politician

Beto Coral, a US-based activist, was forced to leave the country after criticizing a Colombian politician aligned with Donald Trump. Coral had been warning fellow Colombians in Florida not to vote for Abelardo de la Espriella, a far-right candidate endorsed by Trump, in the week leading up to Colombia's presidential election. This incident highlights the growing influence of foreign politics in the US, particularly in areas with large immigrant populations. The event may also raise concerns about freedom of speech and the treatment of activists in the US.
