Venezuela to Resume Deportation Flights Under Trump Administration Agreement

The Trump administration secured a deal with Venezuela to restart deportation flights, reversing a suspension linked to prior U.S. oil sanctions.

Deportation flights from the U.S. to Venezuela will resume on Friday, following an agreement brokered by Trump administration envoy Richard Grenell.
The flights had been suspended after the U.S. revoked Chevron's license to operate in Venezuela, straining relations between the two nations.
Venezuela's government has agreed to accept deportees, including individuals linked to the violent Tren de Aragua gang, a priority for U.S. immigration enforcement.
The deal reportedly involves deporting up to 5,000 Venezuelan migrants, easing detention space constraints in U.S. facilities.
This development follows Grenell's earlier diplomatic efforts in Caracas, which included securing the release of six Americans held in Venezuelan prisons.
