Over 100 migrants deported from US to Venezuela as repatriation flights resume

The Biden administration flew more than 100 Venezuelans back to their authoritarian socialist homeland on Wednesday as deportation flights to the troubled nation resumed for the first time in years.

The Department of Homeland Security announced earlier this month that it would resume direct repatriations to Venezuela in an effort to deter illegal border-crossings after a decision by Venezuelan authorities to accept the return of Venezuelan nationals.

“This flight to Venezuela is the first I’ve seen in my career of an entire charter flight of Venezuelans going back to their country,” Corey Price, an acting executive associate director for Immigration and Customs Enforcement, told the Associated Press.

“And we plan on having several more of these in the coming days and weeks,” he added.
