Liberty University Med Students Visit El Salvador

Students from the Liberty University College of Osteopathic Medicine will be visiting El Salvador from March 22-29, 2025. Liberty University has had a troubled history history in Latin America. Its founder Jerry Falwell Sr. was involved in questionable actions in Latin America during the 1980s under President Ronald Reagan. More recently, the Trump Administration has discussed shipping US prisoners to El Salvador, a nation that has experienced systemic oppression according to Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch.

The first flights carrying migrants deported from the United States to Colombia. The Colombian government confirmed on Tuesday that two planes carrying migrants had landed. Some were reportedly shackled. A total of 201 migrants: 110 sent from California and 90 from Texas were on board. Among the deportees were two pregnant women and more than 20 children. The cost to US taxpayers is estimated to be $100,000 to $700,000 per flight. The long-term costs and consequences of this program with Latin America, like many others over the last century, have not been estimated.
