Flights carrying Venezuelan migrants deported from the United States have arrived in Venezuela, marking the resumption of repatriation flights between the two nations. Venezuelan authorities confirmed that the flights landed in Caracas and La Guaira on Sunday.
The move comes after a new agreement was reached between the U.S. and Venezuela to address the growing number of Venezuelan migrants attempting to enter the U.S. through its southern border. The cooperation aims to manage migration flows and ensure the safe return of Venezuelan nationals.
“These flights represent a significant step in our bilateral relations,” said a Venezuelan government spokesperson. “We are committed to receiving our citizens and providing them with the support they need upon their return.”
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security announced earlier this month that it would resume deportation flights to Venezuela, citing the need to enforce immigration laws and manage the influx of migrants.
Thousands of Venezuelans have left their country in recent years due to economic challenges, seeking better opportunities abroad. The resumption of deportation flights signals a shift in U.S. policy and impacts many Venezuelans currently in the U.S.
Local organizations in Venezuela are preparing to assist returnees with reintegration programs. “Our priority is to help these individuals rebuild their lives,” said a representative from a local NGO.
As the flights continue, both countries are watching closely how this development will affect migration trends and bilateral relations.
