Are they saying that there was no warning, or no permission?

Some have claimed either or both.

They clearly knew that the Administration was intending to send these aircraft, because they were told they couldn't do that before the aircraft entered Colombia airspace. But like Mexico, they told the Administration that they were not granting permission for the use of military aircraft.

Because, of course, that's a reasonable position for a country to take. Not to allow military aircraft to be substituted in for civilian purposes for no reason. Mexico is much bigger, and more important to the U.S., than Colombia so they were able to make their objection stick. But it's absolutely a reasonable thing for a country to raise in the first place.
