Joseph St. Clair, a U.S. Air Force veteran, was released from wrongful detention in Venezuela after several months, as confirmed by his family. He had traveled to South America for PTSD treatment but was detained since November. His release coincided with a meeting between Richard Grenell, President Trump's envoy, and Venezuela's President Nicolás Maduro. The U.S. government has maintained that St. Clair's detention was wrongful, and his family expressed overwhelming joy following his release, indicating the emotional toll it had taken on them.
This news came suddenly, and we are still processing it, but we are overwhelmed with joy and gratitude.
Scott St. Clair earlier this month told The Associated Press his son, a language specialist, had traveled to South America to seek treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder.
During the meeting in Venezuela's capital, Caracas, Grenell urged Maduro to take back deported migrants who have committed crimes in the U.S.
