US-VENEZUELA-MIGRATION

The first deportation flight with Venezuelans takes off from Harlingen, Texas, after a US-Venezuelan agreement to deport undocumented Venezuelans on October 18, 2023. The United States said on October 5, 2023 it will resume deportation flights to Venezuela after a deal with Caracas, as President Joe Biden, seeking reelection, comes under pressure to halt border crossings. Washington has for years halted sending migrants back to Venezuela due to instability in the South American nation and still maintains sanctions against the government of President Nicolas Maduro.
