Venezuela frees 10 Americans in swap for deported migrants in El Salvador
Briefly

Almost 200 Venezuelan men were deported by President Trump to an El Salvador prison, raising safety concerns. An international deal facilitated the return of deported Venezuelans in exchange for the release of American citizens and political prisoners in Venezuela. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio confirmed the release of 10 Americans. El Salvador's President Nayib Bukele announced all Venezuelan deportees had been returned. This successful operation followed months of negotiations with the Venezuelan regime to secure the release of hostages.
Ten Americans who were detained in Venezuela are on their way to freedom, as confirmed by US Secretary of State Marco Rubio on social media.
All the Venezuelan deportees detained in El Salvador have been handed over, a statement from El Salvador's President Nayib Bukele confirmed.
The exchange involved a considerable number of Venezuelan political prisoners kept in prisons for years, as well as all American citizens held as hostages.
This operation is the result of months of negotiations with a tyrannical regime that had long refused to release its hostages, according to Bukele.
