Two flights transported by Venecuelan migrants from the United States back to Venezuela will arrive late Monday in the Caracas capital, the Ministry of Communication in the country said.
Flights are a big victory for Trump’s administration, which made a campaign promise to deport millions of unfathomable migrants. In order to achieve this goal, Nicolás Maduro, autocratic President Venezuela, who has found himself is increasingly isolated by world leaders, is required to agree to the President of Trump, to agree to accept some of these people.
Two aircraft owned by Venecuelan Aviation Aviation Audits left Fort Bliss in Texas, where migrants that are susceptible to deportation are held, at about 10:45 pm they were supposed to arrive at Caracas at 7:15 pm, according to the Flight Flight Flight website, on Flightawara website, flight tracking flight.

“The repatriation flights for Venezuela continued,” the post said. “Make America again.”
After a rupture in the relationship between the United States and Venezuela in 2019, the Government of Mr. Madura refused to accept deported citizens, except during the short period in the Biden administration.
The announcement of flights follows a recent visit to Trump’s advisor Richard Grenella in Venezuela. Mr. Grenell returned to the United States with six Americans who were detained from the Government of Maduro.
With the mastery of flights, the United States is sent by migrants back to the nation run by an autocrat he spent for years in the prison of political opponents and others he considers to be non -non -national.
In a statement to the newspaper media, the government of Mr. Madur said that US authorities have informed that several deportants have been part of a criminal group called a moment de Aragua.
Neither did Venezuela have provided proof of it now.
But Mr. Madur’s government convinced the public that the Venezuelan who returned to the accused of band members “will be subject to a rigorous investigation as soon as Venecuelan soil will be touched and that they will be subject to the actions provided for in our judicial system.”
For years, the Venecuelan judicial system used the Government of Mr. Madur and its predecessor Hugo Chávez.
Laura Dib, analyst at the Venezuela at the Washington Office of Latin America, said that the politicization of the judicial system was intensively documented by the Inter -American Court of Human Rights, the Bodies of the United Nations Agreement and Mission to find the facts of the United Nations In Venezuela.
“I do not expect to have any guarantee of the procedure upon his return,” she said about the deported. “If nothing else, I think there might be retaliations to the people who fled to the US”
Venezuela has experienced an extraordinary economic crisis in recent years. Many left the country for economic reasons. But others, including former members of military and political activists, fled for fear of persecution.
And in recent months, the Government of Mr. Madur has rounded off not only political activists known for vocal statements against the government, but also to the people who go through protests and Venezuela who look little involved in politics.
In his first term, President Trump has arduously led the line against Mr. Madur, imposing economic sanctions and supporting the opposition leader, Juan Guaidó in an attempt to worn out the Venezuela leader. In 2020, federal prosecutors in the United States were accused by Mr. Madur of involvement in a plot of narcotraffication, and State Department offered $ 15 million to assist in his arrest. (Mr. Biden raised him $ 25 million.)
But in the first weeks of Mr. Trump’s second term, Mr. Trump was marked by a friendly approach to Mr. Madur.
Mr. Grenell’s visit to Caracas in January was an important victory for Mr. Madur, who has been charged with the theft of recent elections.
It was the first public visit of an American official in Caracas for years, borrowing the air legitimacy of a leader who used the force and repression to stay in power.

In a statement to the newspaper media, the Venecuelan government announced that it had reached a contract with Trump’s administration that Venezuelan planes would take over its citizens so that the transfer could be made “with absolute respect for their dignity and human rights.
The Government also called for a “new beginning of the relationship between both countries” in which they could “establish a mechanisms of direct cooperation” for the fight against organized crime and smuggling networks “that harmed and cheated on thousands of our compatriots, bringing them to the United States.”
