US Officials Resume Deportation Flights for Venezuelan Migrants, Address Migration and Drug Trafficking Concerns in Mexico

The Biden administration plans to resume deportation flights for Venezuelan migrants, according to two US officials. The specific details and start date of the flights have not been disclosed. This decision comes after the administration recently expanded protected status for Venezuelans in the US. While Biden aims to provide legal pathways for migrants, he also intends to crack down on illegal crossings. Venezuela has been facing a severe political, economic, and humanitarian crisis, leading millions to migrate, with many attempting to reach the US through the dangerous Darién Gap in Panama.
