Telemundo Controversy
On April 1, 2010, the US Spanish language television network Telemundo broadcast an episode of "Caso Cerrado" (Case Closed) in which claims were made that Wayuu women are subjected to ritual genital mutilation. The group Fuerza de Mujeres Wayuu (Force of Wayuu Women) protested the show. In August 2010, Colombia's Uribia Department for Indigenous Affairs stated that it would sue Telemundo NBC over these claims.

“Ours was a highly activist administration, with a lot of controversy involved ... but I’m not sure that it would be inconsistent with my own political nature to do it differently if I had it to do all over again.”
—Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
