Venezuela Agrees to Resume U.S. Deportation Flights After Suspension

The agreement follows diplomatic tensions and U.S. deportation of alleged Venezuelan gang members to El Salvador, sparking human rights concerns.

Venezuela announced it will resume accepting deportation flights from the U.S., with the first flight scheduled imminently.
The flights were previously suspended in February 2025 after Venezuela accused the U.S. of failing to meet commitments.
The decision comes after the U.S. deported over 200 alleged Venezuelan gang members to El Salvador, a move criticized by Venezuela for lack of evidence and potential human rights violations.
Venezuelan officials, including Interior Minister Diosdado Cabello, deny that any of the deportees are members of the Tren de Aragua gang.
The Trump administration has intensified migration policies, including revoking residency rights for over 500,000 migrants, prompting legal challenges and widespread disruption.
