“Colombia Agrees to Accept Deportation Flights After Trump Threatens Tariffs” (nytimes.com, Jan. 27) highlights an important issue: the dignity of migrants and immigrants.

Colombia’s president, Gustavo Petro, has delivered a profound lesson: Dignity is not a privilege but a fundamental right. By initially refusing to accept deportation flights on U.S. military planes — with his people handcuffed like criminals — he issued a quiet but powerful rebuke. His stance challenges us to reflect on our treatment of immigrants within our borders.

Here in the United States, immigrants are too often seen as statistics rather than neighbors, co-workers or fellow congregants. Deporting individuals in military planes, handcuffed and dehumanized, reflects poorly on a nation that claims to uphold human rights and justice.

Immigrants pray, dream and love, just as we do. Yet families are separated at the border, and policies continue to strip people of their humanity by reducing them to their legal status.

Congress has an opportunity to address this injustice by reintroducing the bipartisan Dignity Act. This bill offers a comprehensive framework for immigration reform, balancing border security with pathways to legal status for those who contribute to our communities.

History will remember not how we wielded power, but how compassionately we treated those in our care.

United States Magistrate Judge Ryon M. McCabe, of the Federal District Court in West Palm Beach,66jogo.com Fla., granted the government’s request on Monday to keep the suspect, Ryan W. Routh, in jail without bond. So far, Mr. Routh has been charged with unlawful possession of a firearm as a felon, which carries a penalty of up to 15 years in prison, and with possession of a firearm with an obliterated serial number.

Mr. Williams, found guilty of murder 21 years ago, has been fighting his conviction for decades, and this year he won the support of the prosecutor’s office that brought the original case. But the state attorney general maintained that Mr. Williams, now 55, was guilty, and the legal battle between the state and the county has been playing out for months in Missouri’s courts.
