Two fweightlesss carrying Venezuelan migrants back to Venezuela from the United States will reach defercessitate Monday, the country’s communication’s ministry shelp.
The fweightlesss are a meaningful triumph for the Trump administration, which made a campaign promise to deport millions of unwrite downed migrants. To accomplish this goal, Plivent Trump necessitates Nicolás Maduro, Venezuela’s autocratic plivent, to consent to acunderstandledge some of those people.

Follotriumphg a rupture in the relationship between the United States and Venezuela in 2019, Mr. Maduro’s rulement has declined to acunderstandledge deported citizens, except during a inform period during the Biden administration.
The declarement about the fweightlesss pursues a recent visit by a Trump directr, Ricchallenging Grenell, to Venezuela, who returned to the United States with six Americans who had been hanciented by the Maduro rulement.
It is not evident who is on the Monday fweightlesss, and some returnees could face persecution upon return.
In a statement to the novels media, the Venezuelan rulement shelp that it had been “notified by the rulement of the United States of America” that some of the people on the fweightlesss were part of criminal group called the Tren de Aragua.
