The United States government has confirmed the resumption of deportation flights to Venezuela. The news comes after a visit by Richard Grenell, special envoy of former President Donald Trump, to Caracas, where he met with President Nicolás Maduro.
This decision to resume deportation flights to Venezuela has generated controversy and concern in the international community. Human rights organizations have expressed their worry about the situation of the deportees upon returning to a country in crisis, facing political and economic problems.
"It is essential that the rights of the deported are respected and their security guaranteed when being sent back to Venezuela," stated a representative of an NGO that works in defense of migrants' rights. The situation in Venezuela has led to a massive exodus of citizens seeking better living conditions in other countries, and the resumption of deportation flights could worsen this migration crisis.
