President Maduro announced the repatriation of 177 Venezuelan migrants from a US military base in Guantanamo, characterizing it as a rescue initiated by his government’s request to the United States. The deportees were escorted by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement and included individuals with criminal charges, particularly affiliations with the Tren de Aragua criminal organization. Although the Venezuelan government plans to address pending charges domestically, reports indicate ongoing immigrant transfers to Guantanamo Bay. This development follows legal actions by the American Civil Liberties Union concerning the conditions faced by migrants.
President Maduro characterized the deportation process as a rescue of his countrymen, highlighting a cooperative relationship with the US that involved direct requests from his administration.
The US confirmed the deportation of 177 Venezuelans, a process that included individuals with serious criminal affiliations, and stated that they would be transferred to local courts.
