In a significant development, former President Donald Trump declared on Saturday that Venezuela has consented to repatriate all illegal immigrants deported from the United States.
The Venezuelan government has also pledged to arrange transportation for these individuals, marking a notable shift in immigration enforcement.
Trump took to Truth Social to share the news, stating, "Venezuela has agreed to receive, back into their Country, all Venezuela illegal aliens who were encamped in the U.S., including gang members of Tren de Aragua." He further elaborated, "Venezuela has further agreed to supply the transportation back. We are in the process of removing record numbers of illegal aliens from all Countries, and all Countries have agreed to accept these illegal aliens back. Furthermore, record numbers of criminals are being removed from our Country, and the Border numbers are the strongest they have been since the First Term of the Trump Administration!" According to The Post Millennial, this announcement follows the efforts of Richard Grenell, a Trump appointee, who successfully negotiated the release of six Americans detained in Venezuela.
The Tren de Aragua gang, originating from Venezuelan prisons, has expanded its influence across more than a dozen U.S. states. This expansion has been attributed, in part, to the lenient border policies of President Joe Biden's administration. During his presidency, Trump designated the gang and similar criminal organizations as terrorist entities, emphasizing the need for stringent border security. The current administration has vowed to reverse these policies, focusing on securing the border and prioritizing the deportation of illegal immigrants with violent or gang-related backgrounds. This commitment underscores a broader strategy to address the challenges posed by illegal immigration and criminal activity within the United States.
