Venezuela begins releasing American detainees amid goodwill gesture by interim authorities

Venezuela has begun releasing detained Americans as part of a government goodwill gesture, with a US official confirming some prisoners were freed but not disclosing names or numbers; this marks the first known American release since January. Rights groups say around 800 political prisoners exist and about 50 have been released to date; Trump hailed the step on Truth Social while critics warn that releases do not guarantee broader political freedom.

Four Americans Freed as Venezuela's Interim Government Advances Amnesty Drive

The interim Venezuelan government freed at least four Americans who were imprisoned there, marking the first confirmed U.S. detainee releases since Nicolás Maduro’s ouster. The move comes as the interim authorities, led by Delcy Rodríguez, have begun releasing political prisoners and are supported by a State Department team. Bloomberg first reported the release, and the Trump administration has urged the release of all political prisoners. While this is a notable step, rights groups say hundreds remain arbitrarily detained, with as many as 56 released among more than 800 such cases as of recently.
