Deportation flights from the US to Venezuela resumed under President Trump’s administration, marking a significant shift in immigration policy that had been largely stalled for years. This move follows the visit of Trump's Special Envoy, Richard Grenell, to Caracas where he met with President Nicolás Maduro.
