Nearly 200 illegal aliens from Venezuela were flown back to their country in two planes sent here to do the job, in accordance with President Trump's mass deportation promise.
This deportation of 190 illegal aliens may be a sign of tensions being relaxed between the US and Venezuela and it's certainly a win for Trump's administration as they begin to fulfill the promise they made to have countries take back their citizens who were in the U.S. illegally.
The Conviasa airline flights arrived in the Venezuelan capital of Caracas from Fort Bliss, a U.S. Army base in El Paso, Texas.
"Two planes of illegal immigrants left El Paso today headed to Venezuela - paid for by the Venezuelans," Trump envoy Ric Grennell, who oversaw the deportations, wrote on X.
Under the PINO Joe Biden's administration, deportation flights from the U.S. to Venezuela were halted for years, except for a brief time in October 2023.
In 2021, many Venezuelans started showing up at the U.S. southern border, and they've been among the top groups trying to enter the country without permission. Venezuela didn’t want to take them back, which caused a big problem.
However, after Ric Grenell visited Caracas a few weeks ago, Venezuela agreed to accept their returning citizens. Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro commented, "This is the world we want, a world of peace, understanding, dialogue, and cooperation."
On Monday, Venezuela confirmed flights for deportees back home but criticized the U.S. for spreading what they called "ill-intentioned" and "false" stories about Venezuelan migrants, particularly about members of the Tren de Aragua gang. They emphasized that most Venezuelan migrants are honest, hardworking people.
These deportations happened shortly after some undocumented immigrants were sent to Guantanamo Detention Center in Cuba, where they are kept separate from other detainees, including those involved in the 9/11 attacks.
A judge in New Mexico issued a temporary block on the Trump administration's plan to send three Venezuelan men to Guantánamo Bay. Their lawyers argued that these men were targeted because they fit the profile of those the administration wanted to detain there, accusing them wrongly of gang connections.
The deportations also followed agreements by Secretary of State Marco Rubio with El Salvador and Guatemala, where these countries agreed to accept their citizens and other deportees from the U.S.
After Grennell's visit, Trump announced that Venezuela had agreed to take back all their undocumented citizens in the U.S., including alleged gang members, and even cover the cost for their flights back. At the same time, six Americans were released from Venezuela.
