Argentina Bars Entry to Maduro Allies After Reported U.S. Capture of Venezuelan Leader

The Milei administration casts the move as a preventive step to block regime collaborators from seeking refuge in the country.

Overview

  • Presidential spokesperson Manuel Adorni announced on X that new entry restrictions were adopted by the National Directorate of Migrations in coordination with other state agencies.
  • The policy targets Venezuelan officials, members of the armed forces, regime-linked business figures, and individuals sanctioned by the United States for human rights or corruption cases.
  • Casa Rosada described the action as designed to prevent those tied to the Maduro government from attempting to evade international justice by seeking asylum in Argentina.
  • Argentina’s Foreign Ministry issued a communiqué expressing firm support for the U.S. military operation that, according to reports, resulted in Nicolás Maduro’s detention.
  • President Javier Milei publicly praised the operation and labeled Maduro a narcoterrorist, characterizing the moment as the fall of a dictator.
