The Venezuelan government has issued a travel alert advising citizens to avoid the US, claiming it is a dangerous country for immigrants. In a Telegram video, officials urged Venezuelans abroad to prioritize their safety and return home. They described the US as a place void of the American dream for immigrants, highlighting the risks faced by vulnerable communities. This warning follows the US government’s own alert against traveling to Venezuela due to high risks of arbitrary detention and violent crime. Caracas also referenced the harsh conditions faced by migrants deported to systems like El Salvador's prisons.
The Venezuelan foreign ministry urged compatriots to protect their lives and return home, condemning the US as a dangerous country where immigrants face severe human rights violations.
Claims surfaced that being a Latino or Venezuelan migrant in the US is particularly risky, with high instances of police violence and unjust treatment reported.
