“We have agreed with the US government to resume the repatriation of Venezuelan migrants with a first flight tomorrow, Sunday,” says Jorge Rodríguez, President of the Venezuela’s Assembly and the most important negotiator of Maduro with the US
Venezuela accepted the deal to “guarantee the return of our countrymen to their nation with the protection of their human rights,” said Rodríguez.
In his statement, Rodríguez referred to the deportation by the government of Donald Trump from around 250 Venezuelans to a prison with high security in El Salvador.
“Migrating is not a crime and we will not rest until we achieve the return of all those who need it and until we save our brothers, kidnapped in El Salvador,” said Rodríguez.
Trump claimed that the deportees were members of the Tren de Aragua gang. He labeled the Aragua -train An incoming force on March 15 when he called The Alien Enemies ActA little-used authority from 1798 with which the president can deport non-citizens during wartime.
