U.S. to Resume Deportation Flights to Venezuela Following Agreement

Venezuela agrees to accept deportation flights after diplomatic efforts by Trump envoy Richard Grenell.

  • The United States will restart deportation flights to Venezuela on Friday, marking the resumption of a halted policy.
  • The agreement follows diplomatic negotiations led by Richard Grenell, President Trump's special envoy for special missions.
  • Venezuela had previously suspended deportation flights under the Biden administration due to tensions over oil sanctions and democratic reform commitments.
  • The resumed flights aim to address overcrowding in U.S. detention facilities, with thousands of Venezuelan migrants identified for deportation.
  • The deportations include individuals linked to the Tren de Aragua gang, a violent group originating in Venezuela and implicated in criminal activity across Latin America and the U.S.
