Venezuelan migrants deported from the United States arrive at Simon Bolivar International Airport in Maiquetia, Venezuela, February 20, 2025
NEARLY 200 Venezuelans were deported from the US to their home country this week after being detained at the notorious US torture camp in Guantanamo Bay on illegally occupied Cuban soil.
The government of President Nicolas Maduro said that it had “requested the repatriation of a group” of Venezuelans “who were unjustly taken” to Guantanamo Bay.
With the request accepted, an aircraft with the state-owned airline Conviasa picked up the Venezuelans from Honduras. The US Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency confirmed the transfer of 177 “illegal aliens.”
