Edmundo González, recognized as Venezuela's president-elect by the U.S., cautions against a potential deportation deal with Maduro, highlighting the risks of political manipulation. While addressing U.S. immigration priorities under Trump, he believes that a strategy ensuring Maduro's removal would benefit both countries, paving the way for Venezuelan repatriations. González argues that direct negotiations with Maduro would legitimize his regime and suggests utilizing third-party countries for deportations. The challenges include limited options for such countries and concerns from Latin American governments regarding deportee treatment.
Negotiating directly with Maduro would allow the autocrat to "use returning Venezuelans to his political advantage," emphasizing the need for third-country deportations.
Once that happens, hundreds of Venezuelans will return to our country,” indicating that a change in leadership in Venezuela could facilitate repatriation.
