"Mexico and Venezuela Reinforce Repatriation Efforts Amid Migration Surge"

Mexico and Venezuela have resumed a program to repatriate Venezuelan migrants from Mexico, with recent flights landing in Caracas as part of an effort to manage the high levels of migration towards the United States. This initiative follows an agreement from a regional summit to address migration issues and includes social and work programs for returnees. The relaunch coincides with a significant increase in migrants arriving at the U.S.-Mexico border and a large migrant caravan moving through southern Mexico. The U.S. has been pressuring Latin American countries to control migration flows, and discussions on the issue have taken place between U.S. and Mexican officials, with Mexico's President López Obrador seeking U.S. development aid for migrants' home countries and a reduction of sanctions against Cuba and Venezuela in return for cooperation.
