Venezuela has agreed to resume flights for its nationals deported by the US, after a deal was reached with the Trump administration. The agreement allows for the return of Venezuelan migrants who were initially halted in March due to a dispute over human rights.
The White House and US State Department declined to comment on the matter. President Nicolás Maduro said that his government’s perseverance led to the resumption of flights, which will continue to rescue and free migrants from prisons in the US.
In February, Venezuela agreed to accept deportees, but President Maduro halted flights in March after a dispute with the Trump administration over the deportation of 238 Venezuelans to El Salvador. The Trump administration used the Alien Enemies Act to justify the removals, prompting a legal challenge.
A federal judge in Washington, DC attempted to block the deportation flights via verbal orders, but the planes landed in El Salvador despite this. President Nayib Bukele stated that the intervention came “too late”. The White House has denied defying the judge’s order.
