Brazil will not use its air force planes to assist with the deportation of Brazilian migrants in the United States, the South American country's top diplomat said on Tuesday, just days after a major flare up in neighboring Colombia over the issue.

In a recent statement, Brazil made it clear that it will not allow its air force planes to be used for deporting Brazilian migrants from the United States. This decision comes after a series of diplomatic discussions and public outrage over the treatment of migrants being deported.
