Washington D.C. - Deportation flights from the United States to Venezuela have resumed, marking the end of a weeks-long suspension. The flights, which began again on Sunday, are the result of a recent agreement between the U.S. government and the administration of Venezuelan President Nicols Maduro.
The halt in deportations stemmed from diplomatic tensions and concerns regarding the reception of deportees in Venezuela. Negotiations between the two countries aimed to address these concerns and establish a framework for the safe and orderly return of Venezuelan nationals.
U.S. authorities have stated that the flights will focus on individuals who have been deemed ineligible to remain in the United States, including those who have exhausted their legal options for asylum or other forms of relief. The resumption of deportations reflects the U.S. government's continued efforts to enforce immigration laws and manage the flow of migrants at the border. Specific details regarding the number of individuals on each flight and the frequency of the deportations have not been released.
