Venezuela Agrees to Restart U.S. Deportation Flights

Venezuela has authorized the United States to resume direct deportation flights for Venezuelan migrants. The move follows a formal request from U.S. authorities. The flights will depart from Phoenix, Arizona, and arrive in Caracas, Venezuela’s capital. They are scheduled to operate regularly each week on Wednesdays and Fridays. This agreement reinstates a key repatriation program. The U.S. government uses such programs to return migrants who do not have legal permission to stay. The decision marks a step in ongoing migration management efforts between the two nations. No further details about the program's scale or duration are currently available.
